You don't necessarily need to believe the AI is a human for it to tickle the ingrained social instincts you're looking for. For example, I'm quite aware that AI's are just tools, and yet I still feel a strong need to be "polite" in my requests to ChatGPT. "Please do ...." or "Can you...?" and even "Thanks, that worked! Now can you..." etc.

I dont feel this at all. I treat chatgpt like an investment banking intern.

You only do that politeness as a novice.

My questions to copilot.ms.com today are more like the following, still works like a charm...

"I have cpp code: <enter><code snippet><enter> and i get error <piece of compilation output>. Is this wrong smart ponitor?"

[elaborate answer with nice examples]

"Works. <Next question>"

I do the same, but I think it's because we were taught to be polite and to conduct conversations in a certain way.

Do you put effort into being polite when ChatGPT makes a mistake and you correct it? Do you try to soften the blow to avoid hurting its "feelings"? Do you feel bad if you respond impolitely? I don't.
