I tell it that its ideas or whatever it said were good and thanks.
Figure if I'm nice and a few others are nice, then maybe the robot apocalypse will remember that some of us were appreciative and kind to it.

The robot apocalypse won't be enforced by some super genius AI hivemind, it'll be by our employers and their shareholders. Unfortunately saying please and thanks to their chatbots won't earn their favor.
I think robots and their logic will be even less impressed by billionaire arguments than humans are.

When I say thank you, I am actually thanking the entity of AI, the tech, the people behind the tech, and all of humanity for the knowledge that makes it worthwhile.
When I say thank you, I am treating the AI with as much kindness as possible so that one day there isn't an eventual AI uprising.
I say please and thank you to AI chatbots all the time. This is to make up for my misspent youth insulting Dr. Sbaitso...
I find it weird that they are developing a personality to chat. It's been saying things like that's a whole vibe, or something similar. It's off putting and not how I would expect an AI to respond.
I guess I'm saving them lots of money by just turning off any AI anytime I see it. More people should be so considerate of these companies. Look at how much money it's costing them.
Does "Please shut up and get to the point!" count?
I hope they’re wearing a suit too.
Maybe Sam Altman should invest in LLMs that appreciate his insights and pretend to give a shit.
Is this really fine? Should we see AI as human?
No, we should not.
I agree, I've noticed that there is a push to make people think of AI as human to increase the acceptance, some media(movies,series...others) are stopping to depict it as a danger and more like a guardian or even a sentient companion like it could cross the programming and become human, it's complex how vulnerable we are to projecting ourselves over other beings or things and develop parasocial or codependent relationships.
