Joanne Jang who works at OpenAI has a blog post on human-AI relationships:

"…many people say “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT not because they’re confused about how it works, but because being kind matters to them."

I read this last night and ever since I’ve been trying to figure out why I usually type to an AI chatbot with proper spelling and punctuation, even correcting my chat text when I make a typo. It doesn’t matter, the robots don’t care. But it’s almost like if I skip that step, if I’m careless, I’ve somehow compromised all of my writing.

Some thoughts on human-AI relationships

and how we're approaching them at OpenAI

@manton I’m pleased that you brought this up. I’ve tried not to be polite with ChatGPT - I guess just ask my question devoid of Please or Thank you, etc, but I just can’t stop myself. Not using a polite conversational tone just doesn’t feel right to me. As you say, I do it for me, because not to do so does not feel right.
