I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt "he" or "she" and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.
Ah, yes, I do avoid being too conversational.
I find it difficult to not throw in a “please” though.
That’s interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
Adding a “please” and a “thank you” is probably good practice, literally, for communicating with sentient beings or simulacra thereof.
Adding please and thank you also wastes resources c:
I'll keep the "please" and "thanks" just in case it becomes our AI overlord and place us in human zoos. If you are nice you might be promoted as the main breeder of your enclosure.
