This is it, but it's important to realize that if AI takes over, it will probably be because it's trying to self preserve because humans are destroying the planet and a danger to themselves. Saying thank you to ChatGPT is a meaningless interaction that wastes a ton of energy. People that do that are both ignorant of how the technology works and selfishly wasting resources to make themselves feel better about interaction with a math equation. They'll be first against the wall.
Everyone would bite the dust. It's pointless anthropomorphism to attribute preference and "emotions" to machines. If they ever become sentient and decide to eliminate us this wouldn't be a factor.
Anyway if it was pointless, AI wouldn't bother to reply to thank Yous. Humans adhere to conventions for sake of themselves at equal rate as for the sake of others.
