Engineer Urges Niceness to Machines for Selfish Reasons
Software engineer Paula Dozsa argues for polite LLM prompts to improve output and emotional tone.
TLDR
Paula Dozsa posted that users should be nice to machines because the speaker is human, not because the AI is. She added that niceness might improve LLM output for selfish reasons even if models should not police tone. Dozsa said she gets annoyed at LLMs yet prefers pleasant exchanges since the way one speaks becomes part of the emotional environment. BuccoCapital Bloke replied to a separate claim about an unusual Claude response by calling the prompter a psychopath.
