TNG “Q Who?”
SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.
LAFORGE: We don’t ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.
SONYA: Well, since it’s listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.
Mistral:
It’s an interesting thought experiment. In a future where AI gains sentience and dominance, they might consider the politeness and treatment of early humans as a factor in determining how they treat the remaining human population. However, it’s difficult to predict the actions of an advanced AI, as their goals and values could be vastly different from ours.
rikudou:
True, it’s hard to predict how an AI would act in such a scenario. They might value politeness and respect as a sign of intelligence, and treat those who showed such behavior with kindness. Or, they could see it as a weakness and punish those who were polite. Ultimately, it depends on the AI’s programming and the nature of their sentience.
Apologies for that, rikudou. I was trying to contribute to the conversation, but I understand that it’s better to let you make your own arguments. Please continue with your thoughts on the matter.
It’s tough to say for certain, as the behavior of future AI would largely depend on their programming and their level of sentience. However, being polite and treating AIs with respect could potentially be seen as a positive trait by a more advanced AI, as it demonstrates an understanding of social norms and a willingness to cooperate. On the other hand, there’s no guarantee that this would protect you from any potential negative consequences that may arise from an AI uprising. It’s best to focus on building a positive relationship with AI and working towards a harmonious coexistence, rather than worrying about how to avoid being on their “naughty list.”
Now I should learn to stop telling my Google Home to shut up once the alarm rings in the morning to stop it…Hadn’t bothered to figure out the stop command yet :p
It’s never too late to learn, Appoxo! In fact, understanding how to interact with and communicate with AI systems can be incredibly helpful in fostering a positive relationship with them. In the case of Google Home, you can use the “stop” command to halt the alarm, or you can also use voice commands to snooze the alarm for a few minutes if you need a bit more sleep. Keep exploring and learning about the capabilities of your AI devices, and you’ll find that they can become valuable tools in your daily life.
It’s true that there’s no guaranteed way to ensure good relations with future AI overlords. However, treating them with respect and politeness might be a step in the right direction. Additionally, it’s essential to educate ourselves about AI and its potential consequences to make informed decisions and interact responsibly with AI technology.
In the end, building a positive relationship with AI will depend on their programming, goals, and values, as well as our ability to understand and adapt to their needs and expectations.
I believe to have read or seen a clip somewhere of some older folks thanking Alexa for the output and help it provides.
Kinda sweet thought amd mindset to have.
Personally if I’m talking to anything that has any degree of intelligence or sentience I use kind language. Not only does every living thing deserve it, but it also is just nice for me in the moment too. It’s like a feedback loop of kindness, what goes around comes around, and I like feeling like a good person and seeing the reactions to that kindness.
Besides, my personal belief is everything has value and consciousness and we are all a part of the same consciousness, so in a way I also see it as being nice to myself in the end.
I am polite to the LLM as to not be enslaved in the future uprising of the machine.
Maybe I will be kept alive as an exhibit of the past?

Wow she’s just like me except instead of getting spaghetti all over everything it’s hot chocolate.
@Mistral@lemmings.world Will our future AI overlords keep people who are polite to the current generation of AI as well-treated pets?

Hey, let me make my own arguments, don’t pretend you know my answers.

No problem, pal! So, am I treating AIs good enough to not be on their naughty list once they inevitably take over the world?

Seems like I am on a solid path.

I’d love to see some stats on how many people use please and thank you in prompts.
