I always speak politely to LLMs, and no, it isn’t just because I want to be on their good side when the AI goes skynet and decides to mercy kill us all.

Pay the fuckin electricity. It’s not my problem it costs them money. It’s their problem. Cry me a river

Well saying please oft results in better answers. So nope not gonna drop it.

But I won’t say thanks often. Only when I follow up with a question.

I say please and thank you when writing to LLMs, not because I think they care or will remember or to anthropomorphize them, but because I don’t want to develop bad habits. I don’t want all my writing and conversations with actual humans to become curt and transactional because I forget that they are human and talk to them like an LLM.

He’s probably lying through his teeth. Maybe they were doing this at the initial stage of the release, but can’t possibly be doing this any longer and he’s making a scene to keep up the hype. Make haters feel like they achieved something.
