Yes, I am. While I am fully aware the current set of AIs don't have feelings or a consciousness as we know it, I can't help but anthropomorphize them, so I'm polite and even catch myself thanking them sometimes.
Less polite with chatgpt than clause because I much prefer Claude’s personality. Chatgpt is quite rude/stupid so I find myself being a little more abrupt and then having to apologise.
"how much wood can a woodchuck chuck" gets some AI crud no one wants. "how much wood can a woodchuck chuck -cheese" does not.
Also, I’ve noticed that Claude sometimes gets a bit snotty and offended if I’m too abrupt. Which may just be me anthropomorphising, but there’s a pattern of when this happens.
Yes, but only because they tend to get confused otherwise. Rude language seems to carry a lot of weight and 'distracts' the model from the actual query.

One time I got really pissed at Claude--he kept turning in the exact same code, ignoring the request, and not fixing the failing test. I finally just typed some...really rude, insulting stuff. And then he fixed the bug immediately.
