I guess it's about habit. In the end you are communicating. If I get into the habit of being rude while communicating with a machine, I would be afraid of this habit spilling over to my communication with other humans.

I don't feel like trying to get information from an LLM is a different kind of "communication" from, say, writing code. And I don't use INTERCAL, so.

What about the risk that talking to a machine as though its human leads to thinking of it has human? That leads down a lot of dangerous paths.
