Altman on Polite ChatGPT Use
- Sam Altman admits saying "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT wastes millions of dollars in computing power.
- He tweets it's "tens of millions of dollars well spent," though mostly tongue-in-cheek.
Most People Are Polite to AI
- A TechRadar survey finds 67% of people are polite to AI assistants like ChatGPT, mainly out of kindness or fear of a robot uprising.
- This habitual politeness, though common, contributes to unnecessary compute and power usage.

- Studies show people can detect deepfakes only about 21.6% of the time even when warned to watch for them.
- This indicates widespread difficulty in distinguishing real from synthetic content visually.
