Any "conversation" with a machine is dehumanizing.
Are you really in danger of forgetting the humanity of strangers because you didn't anthropomorphize a text generator? If so, I don't think etiquette is the answer

the thing is, though, that the text generator self-anthropomorphizes.
perhaps if an LLM were trained to be less conversational and more robotic, i would feel less like being polite to it. i never catch myself typing "thanks" to my shell for returning an `ls`.

and that is why it must die!
alias 'thanks'="echo You\'re welcome!"
Words can change minds, it doesn't seem like a huge leap.
Your condescension is noted though.
