OpenAI Complains About Overly Polite ChatGPT Users (3 photos)

People actually communicate with AI as if it were a real interlocutor. 70% of users behave politely with AI out of habit and upbringing, and 12% do it absolutely seriously in case of a “robot uprising”.





But such kindness from users costs the company a pretty penny. Every “thank you” and “please” addressed to ChatGPT loads data centers, which consume a huge amount of electricity — literally millions of dollars.



OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, smiling sweetly through gritted teeth, argues that the expense is worth it because humanity is priceless.



While it may cost millions, some AI design experts believe that politeness and good manners can actually help improve AI. Microsoft design manager Curtis Beavers told Futurism that polite interactions actually “help generate good results.”

So don't be shy and thank more and more often. We are pleased, and the company spends money.
