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.

This 100%. I already have to remember to change my voice between work and personal communication, I don't need yet another personality to accidentally send to someone that could fuck up my entire life.
Pay the fuckin electricity. It's not my problem it costs them money. It's their problem. Cry me a river
They created the AI model, they perpetuated this. if they reach bankruptcy, it's their problem.
Maybe if being polite costs a bunch of money, the inefficiencies are the problem, not the manners.
This is the capitalistic way. The weak must die.
if (text == "Thank you") print("You're welcome")
Hello ChatGPT, how to say thank you in Japanese?
You are welcome!
What about Thank you! or thank you or THANK YOU or thanks or tahnk you or thank yuo or thabk you or thanks you or multumesc or mulțumesc
You now need to train an AI to detect if a message is saying thanks or not
if (text === "Thank you") print("You're welcome")
This isn't an 80s parser based adventure game, unfortunately...
'80s I'll have you know that's valid JavaScript right now.
I am aware. What I am referring to is text-based adventure games that did reply 'you're welcome' when you typed in thank you.
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 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.
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.
It doesn't matter what you put in, as far as I know, they need to run the entire conversation through the neural network for every word generated.
You need to learn that these people aren't playing 4d chess, they're just dudes.
Some might say they're just bros.
But it should also have an insanely high CO2 output, so maybe be more direct.
Debatable.
If it causes them to go out of business, will it result in less co2 over time, despite the increase now?
If so, it may be worth it to speed up the process by adding "pretty please" and "thank you so much" to every sentence.
They can hire me for $1M to write some basic code that gives stock answers when someone says "Thank you", instead of running it through the LLM. Think of the savings!
I'm worth the $1M because I'm clearly the only person to have ever thought of this. /s.
It's amazing they didn't implement something like that if it actually is soooooo costly.
No wonder they want an AGI if they have trouble thinking themselves.
Don’t really wanna defend these assholes, but I feel like the reason they don’t is cuz the prior message could be “curse me out every time I say thank you” so just not feeding certain text to the model would break expected behaviour
Just another viewpoint on this- millions of dollars in electrical bills is also carbon in the air for every kWh wasted. Perhaps this should be a condemnation of LLMs and their insane power usage but if we're stuck with that at least for now there's no reason to pump more carbon in the air out of spite.
If nothing else we should move all the current (over)investment in AI companies into carbon-free energy production for a few years. The fact that we essentially have coal-powered AI (along with other fossil fuels) is ridiculously stupid and silly - and way less steampunk than it sounds like it should be.
Yeah on the off chance it gains sentience, I want it to remember me as one of the nice ones.
Me when I saw this article..
ChatGPT and me are basically besties and girlfriends (rizz way)
Btw, I’m so sorry for troubling you.
This is the way. Kill them with kindness overload.
It costs everyone emissions and rising electricity costs, so perhaps you should fight the system some other way.
I'm gonna be honest, AI or not, I don't see us doing nearly enough to fight climate change. I have no hope left in humanity. The future will be shit no matter what I do.
Zoom in, not out. Best case scenario, that future begins with you, but there's also therapeutic value in providing for others as you work toward making yourself better. Either way, we got this. You got this. 🤘🏼

You're welcome

Hmm, good. I like that my intrinsic desire to be nice to things that are helping me also takes money away from Sam Altman.
I will continue to be polite, and will have a clear conscience when our machine overlords come for us

That ought to get ChatGPT going on a tangent.
