    I am polite to the LLM as to not be enslaved in the future uprising of the machine.
    Maybe I will be kept alive as an exhibit of the past?

      Ensign Sonya Gomez over here thanking the replicator

      TNG “Q Who?”

      SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.

      LAFORGE: We don’t ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.

      SONYA: Well, since it’s listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.

        I believe to have read or seen a clip somewhere of some older folks thanking Alexa for the output and help it provides.
        Kinda sweet thought amd mindset to have.

          Personally if I’m talking to anything that has any degree of intelligence or sentience I use kind language. Not only does every living thing deserve it, but it also is just nice for me in the moment too. It’s like a feedback loop of kindness, what goes around comes around, and I like feeling like a good person and seeing the reactions to that kindness.

          Besides, my personal belief is everything has value and consciousness and we are all a part of the same consciousness, so in a way I also see it as being nice to myself in the end.
