Listen "1091 SHOULD YOU SAY PLEASE TO YOUR AI? THE POLITENESS DEBATE"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I dive into a hot topic from AIDaily.us: should you be polite to your AI? I share how I’ve always said “please” and “thank you” to bots like ChatGPT, feeling like I get better responses—though a friend thought I was nuts. Two articles caught my eye: one says being polite wastes electricity since AI has to process extra words, while the other argues it keeps us a polite society. I’m Team Politeness! With AI and humans blending seamlessly in our daily chats, I think we should default to being nice to everyone—entity, bot, or human. Why have two modes when we can’t even tell who’s who anymore? I even suggest AI devs make bots give better results when we’re polite, nudging us all to be kinder. YouTube fam, do you say “please” to your Alexa, or are you Team Rude? Let’s talk about it!---this media is brought to you by polyscope: https://polyscopemedia.com
