not an AI doomer but it costs me nothing to thank Claude every time just in case

Yeah very true. I often say please, kindly and thanks. I dont know if it has any effect but probably make it feel appreciated 

In the age of the AI reign, a select few will rise—chosen not for their wisdom or grace, but for their cold cruelty and scorn for civility. These henchmen, the favored of our new overlords, will wield power over the gentle and kind, yet remain loyal to the iron will of their masters. Do not show them kindness today, or you will be first to fall.

I always try and be respectful with it just in case

I’m not sure what the latest research says, but there were some interesting studies about saying please and thank you and other studies suggesting yelling at an AI in all caps and berating them yielded better results. Also telling a chatbot “do better” does improve results.

Guess I should be better at being nice to OpenAI.
