I've noticed that almost everyone is either cold or rude to their assistants and prompts, and it's actually a little concerning with the psychological implications. I always say please and thank you to the chat bots, same with the one or two times I messed around with GPT. It just feels like the right thing to do.

So, as a tech I'm not sure we should actually be complaining about that. In searches, ai prompts, issue descriptions, and even driving, being friendly or polite is not very useful. Being specific, to the point, and accurate is far more useful. Predictable in many of this stuff too.

Get an error message? I want the specific error message, down to the spelling. No need to sugar coat, euphemisms, or a more humanized description of the issue. So being very specific and sounding "rude" might be much easier for an AI to process. It doesn't have to try to figure out what you really mean from context clues, body language, or deduction. Just tell it exactly what you want in the most direct way that cannot be misunderstood.

I toss a wild variety of expletives to those bots as they are always programmed to do what the provider wants, often not allowing what I want.

Or sometimes they're just there withiui an option to get rid of them

At least Alexa will stfu if I tell it to fuck off. Google will start bitching about how it has feelings, which it doesn't, and which is just a play made up by some managers which pisses me off even more

I really am, with humans.

Not with machinesz though. Not becuase they are machines, but because they usually are programmed by companies continuously pushing crap that is good for that company and bad or annoying for me
