Your politeness could be costly for OpenAI
“I wonder how much money that OpenAi has lost in the electricity costs of people who ‘please’ and ‘thanks’ to their models.”
It was one apparently random question Posed by a user on X (formerly Twitter), but OpenAi CEO Sam Altman jumped in to answer That typing those words is added to “tens of millions of dollars well spent – you never know.”
Judging by Altman’s tongue-in-cheek, it is probably safe to assume that he has not done a precise calculation. But his answer led to futurism speculate whether it is actually a waste of time And electricity to be polite for chatgpt and other generative AI chatbots.
Apparently, AI is not only an unnecessary habit, misplaced anthropomorphism or fear of our future computer rulers. instead of, Kurt Beavers, a director of the design team for Microsoft Copilot, said That “the use of politely language sets a tone for the reaction”, and that when an AI model “clocks politeness, it is more likely to be back politely.”
That said, blasphemy is usefulat.
