But it's exactly why I enjoy ChatGPT so much. It gives wrong responses all the time and improve it according to your suggestion. I presume this "apologizing" language is just here to help the user to continue the improvement spiral, and use the product in a good way, not just like a google search, you need to keep the interaction running.

Also I found some command that ChatGPT is interpretating like command lines. Like when I send by mistake the letter "c", ChatGPT interpreted like "Correct me that code you just sent me" and send me a corrected version without surrounding text.

I have to agree somewhat. I tried other LLMs that did not apologize, and when they were wrong i found myself annoyed. Since LLMs are wrong more often than humans, in practice it is less annoying to talk to them when they are being apologetic about being wrong.

Of course when you challenge them when they aren't wrong, they shouldn't apologize - but they don't know when they're wrong or not.
