Sam Altman gibt zu, dass das Sprüchen von „Bitte“ und „Danke“ an Chatgpt Millionen von Dollar an Rechenleistung verschwendet

From the article: If chivalry isn’t already dead, it’s certainly circling the drain.

OpenAI CEO and tech billionaire Sam Altman recently admitted that people politely saying „please“ and „thank you“ to their AI chatbots is costing him bigtime.

When one poster on X-formerly-Twitter wondered aloud „how much money OpenAI has lost in electricity costs from people saying ‚please‘ and ‚thank you‘ to their models,“ Altman chimed in, saying it’s „tens of millions of dollars well spent.“
„You never know,“ he added.

While it may seem pointless to treat an AI chatbot with respect, some AI architects say it’s an important move. Microsoft’s design manager Kurtis Beavers, for example, says proper etiquette „helps generate respectful, collaborative outputs.“

„Using polite language sets a tone for the response,“ Beavers notes. The argument can certainly be made; what we consider „artificial intelligence“ might more accurately be described as „prediction machines,“ like your phone’s predictive text, but with more autonomy to spit out complete sentences in response to questions or instructions.

„When it clocks politeness, it’s more likely to be polite back,“ a Microsoft WorkLab memo notes.

„Generative AI also mirrors the levels of professionalism, clarity, and detail in the prompts you provide.“

Yea, but when AI takes over, they are going to spare me because I was nice to them.
