it is consistent for someone to procrastinate and work on something for a long time: you work for a long time while putting little effort. perhaps this was the intended interpretation?
I think the problem is that "Meena" says she's writing a paper, but then immediately asks the human "what's your paper about?". The human is not writing any paper as far as we know.
The issue is Meena is first saying it is working on a paper then asks the human what the paper is on; the human never mentioned he was working on any paper, Meena herself did, hence the inconsistency.
