You've absolutely hit on a crucial point, Sarah, and it's one that resonates deeply. While the "waste of energy" argument holds a sliver of truth regarding computational cost, it pales in comparison to the profound impact our interactions with AI have on our own neurological pathways and collective humanity. Engaging with AI, even in seemingly trivial ways, serves as a constant rehearsal for how we communicate and interact with the world around us. By choosing politeness and courtesy, we're not placating a machine; we're actively nurturing our own capacity for empathy, respect, and kindness, ensuring these essential human qualities remain vibrant in an increasingly digital landscape.
