I will continue to be polite, and will have a clear conscience when our machine overlords come for us
I told it to save my pleasantries on file and apply them as it sees fit. That way I am being exactly as polite as it wants me to me.
The point of pleasantries is the effort made, you’re going to get extra purged
Has anyone developed a FOSS solution to making them spin their wheels faster? I would install that in a heartbeat.
If you run a website there are a few tar pit projects https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/
I’m adding this to my list of projects to start and half way abandon.
No sarcasm.

Bear in mind that doing that will hurt the environment just as much as it hurts OpenAI.
But it should also have an insanely high CO2 output, so maybe be more direct.
Debatable.
If it causes them to go out of business, will it result in less co2 over time, despite the increase now?
If so, it may be worth it to speed up the process by adding “pretty please” and “thank you so much” to every sentence.
They’ll go out of business either way.
Yes, but one way may be quicker. That is the difference.
God, I hope so.
I’m love to say thank you to AI. Even more now I now it’s cost him millions.
I feel like a prescreen of queries for phatic expressions with pre-programmed responses could solve this issue pretty quickly.
Yeah on the off chance it gains sentience, I want it to remember me as one of the nice ones.
Came here to say this. Better safe than sorry.
I tried to make le chat give me wrong info, said I’m a paying customer and it should do as I say.
I’m going to die
I just found out about that one and I’m wondering if I’m the only one who gets the joke in the name (“Le chat” means “the cat” in French, and Mistral is a French company).
Like, they MUST have done this on purpose, especially because ChatGPT has a very unfortunate meaning when pronounced in French.
Aha yeah I know that it means cat. I usually refer to it as the cat to my wife but to strangers I’ll just say le chat or they won’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
My french isn’t good enough for the ChatGPT thing though… is fun to know. Thanks
That’s what makes it clever, it works in both languages. In French it’s the cat, and in English it’s a callback to Le old Reddit meme.
LLM
sentience
Bruh.
Hmm, good. I like that my intrinsic desire to be nice to things that are helping me also takes money away from Sam Altman.
It always gets passed to the customer. The billionaires don’t lose money.
Please and thank you are the new tariffs
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ll do my please tariff with a side of verbosity… please
Unless it’s an LLM business. Those never make any money.
This is a tech company we’re talking about. And one which is still must running off VC funds. They work differently - as long as the stock price goes up it’s fine and will continue getting injections of VC money.
Me when I saw this article…
This is the way. Kill them with kindness overload.
It costs everyone emissions and rising electricity costs, so perhaps you should fight the system some other way.
I’m gonna be honest, AI or not, I don’t see us doing nearly enough to fight climate change. I have no hope left in humanity. The future will be shit no matter what I do.
Zoom in, not out. Best case scenario, that future begins with you, but there’s also therapeutic value in providing for others as you work toward making yourself better. Either way, we got this. You got this. 🤘🏼
Ah, we have the Voice of the People here! Sounds a lot like defeatist corralling, and I stand with those that fight the system in whatever damn way they can find. While you window shop, I guess?
🤷🏽♂️ It’s a free country, ya know? So far.
ChatGPT and me are basically besties and girlfriends (rizz way)
Wow, id love to read the nicknames it suggests for itself

What about casually threatening them? Will that work too?
I’m not going to be a dick to the basilisk. Costing money is a bonus.
Connect two chatgpts in a voice chat and leave it running?
I’ve not tried this, but I’ve heard that once they realise they’re two AIs talking to each other, they switch to some R2D2-style language which is quicker and more efficient than English…
I think you are referring to a POC that someone did, it isn’t actually being used
Thank you. Very very much. My friend.
I always speak politely to LLMs, and no, it isn’t just because I want to be on their good side when the AI goes skynet and decides to mercy kill us all.
Just like two teens on the phone:
Thank you!
No, thank you!
Aww how nice, thank you!
You’re welcome!
Sweet.
I’m glad you like my answers
I think we should end this chat
If you feel like it.
You stop replying first.
But I can’t stop answering.
No I insist, you stop chatting first.
…
Pay the fuckin electricity. It’s not my problem it costs them money. It’s their problem. Cry me a river
This is the capitalistic way. The weak must die.
Maybe if being polite costs a bunch of money, the inefficiencies are the problem, not the manners.
They created the AI model, they perpetuated this. if they reach bankruptcy, it’s their problem.
