Does AI deserve to be spoken to politely? Forty-eight percent of Americans think so and Gen Z are the nicest to robots.

 A new poll asked people how polite they are when speaking to A.I.  Most people are pretty nice to them but maybe we can do better… just in case.

 

 Two in five said they think it matters because our past behavior towards A.I. will be “taken into account somehow” somehow or someway.  So, be nice now or it might want to annihilate us in the future.

  

So do you say things like “please” and “thank you”?  Or do you just order Siri and Alexa around? I am going to err on the side of caution on this one. I have seen that movie and it doesn’t end well for us!

Better watch how you talk to Siri and Alexa, or their robot offspring might want some serious payback?? This is the MOST 2024 story!
