Except we see to see behaviors in asking questions to LLMs where we get different/better responses if we ask "please".

And also, we get better answers from LLMs for solving captchas if we claim that the hard-to-decipher letters were written on our dear grandmother's Christmas ornament. I find this quite amusing.

This makes sense if you think about chatGPT as a ML model and not as a sentient AI. Its training data would show that asking nicely elicits better answers.

I mean should I think of my mother as a ML human and not a sentient one? Why does asking nicely work on either?

If I set up a linux box with the root password “please” I don’t think you would describe that as sentient.
