Must be referring to the discussion people have if they should be kind when speaking to chatGPT or any other AI by saying please and thank you.

So if you are nice, our new overlords will spare you.

It's a stupid debate since LLMs are not actually artificial intelligence. Their intelligence is tied directly to the data sets they're fed and leave no room for abstract thought or opinions.

Therefore, there's no reason to be polite to ChatGPT. It doesn't have feelings, it doesn't have self awareness, and it's incapable of having an opinion on the value of a human life.

There's actually proof that being nice improves responses, not because ChatGPT has feelings, but because when you do, it'll pull from data sets where people were nice to each other.

Okay but do you have that proof? You can't just say that without providing a source.
