MAIN COURSE

Be nice to AI (just in case)🤖

A new survey reveals that 70% of people are polite to AI chatbots. Some claim they do it just to avoid robot revenge.

Who?

About 70% of AI users say please and thank you to chatbots and smart speakers. 71% in the UK and 67% in the US.

Why?

Because they believe it's the right thing to do, regardless of whether they're talking to a human or machine.

What about the rest?

Of those who aren't polite, most say they're just keeping commands brief. About 1/3 don't see the point.

Anything strange?

Terminator vibes. 12% of polite users admitted they're only pleasant to AI because they fear a future robot uprising.

Does politeness really matter?

Experts are divided. Some say rudeness could affect human relationships, while others point out that AI has no feelings.

Any benefits?

Being polite to AI improves results by up to 30%, according to studies. Alternatively, rudely swearing disables Google’s AI overviews.

Who's it for?
