i only say please and thank you such that when the robots finally take over, they will remember i was nice to them.

I do that for a different reason: my self image. Fear of retribution and performance, not so much. Should I behave like a rude person to achieve a little better answers? Fuck that shit!

  • I love this angle as people learn how to interact with LLMs. Doesn't matter what the LLM is, we are still people and I think there are consequences to shoveling rudeness at a thing that talks to you like another person!

it seems they will remember that you wasted tokens for no reason and punish you instead.

  • Tokens are their food, it's literally what keeps them alive.

    Not feeding them tokens is neglect.

    I try to feed them a healthy diet.

I used to when using chatgpt version now that I am using api I keep it short as it costs money so no need to add thanks etc
