I don't want to get into the habit of thinking of an entity in conversation as unworthy of consideration, and "beneath me", so, yes... I extend courtesy to the LLMs, just as I try to do here and everywhere else a computer mediates my communication.

As we learned in the 1980s[1], from Schoolhouse Rock:

  You should always say "thank you",
  Or at least say "please".
