Should You Be Polite to ChatGPT? Scientists' Unexpected Opinion

Scientists have found that politeness does not affect the quality of ChatGPT's responses, as AI lacks consciousness. However, psychologists advise maintaining politeness for the sake of one's own social skills.

Many users automatically add polite phrases when communicating with ChatGPT, but scientific research shows that the machine is indifferent to courtesy. Experiments have not revealed any significant impact of politeness on response accuracy. The quality of generation depends on the clarity of the task and prompt engineering. Psychologists note that the manner of communicating with AI forms a habit, and rudeness can negatively affect social skills. Experts urge treating AI as a tool, not a substitute for human interaction.
