OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently revealed that user politeness towards ChatGPT could cost tens of millions of dollars, according to Cointelegraph. This revelation sparked discussion about the motivations behind courteous interactions with AI. While some users believe polite communication helps avoid future bias in AI-powered systems, others see it as a moral imperative for personal development. A survey by Future revealed that 67% of American users are polite to AI assistants, and 55% do so because they believe it’s the right thing to do. Additionally, 12% act out of fear that mistreating AI could have future consequences. 67% of American users are polite to AI assistants, with 55% doing so because they believe it’s the right thing to do, while 12% act out of fear that mistreating AI could have future consequences. OpenAI also highlights a key driver: the rapid decline in model costs, leading to a tenfold reduction annually. However, CEO Sam Altman expects revenue growth to surge, tripling this year to over $12.7 billion. Despite this optimism, OpenAI does not anticipate reaching cash flow positivity until 2029. This ongoing debate around AI interaction and operational cost showcases the dynamic nature of AI integration in daily life.
