I don’t know why but I always feel compelled to thank chatGPT after a great result.

I know its likely meaningless but it just feels…polite?

You are conditioned to be polite with human beings, and that conditioning also works for entities that behave sufficiently like them.

A dog bringing the journal is probably also one of these entities by the way.

When you pet the dog after he brings you your journal he probably feels the same thing as when you thank a human.
