Saying ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’ to AI Sounds Crazy. It Might Actually Work.

A recent survey reveals that a surprising 86% of office workers are using polite language like "please" and "thank you" when interacting with their AI tools, and many report that it leads to better results. This trend suggests that human-like interaction might enhance AI performance, challenging the notion that AI doesn't care about politeness. The findings highlight an unexpected dimension in human-AI communication and suggest that treating AI with respect could improve user experiences and outcomes, potentially reshaping how we engage with intelligent systems.
