It's not that the robot needs to hear it, but that you need to be someone who says it.

Same, and thank you, there’s no point being rude
I used to be polite to these things. They used to work. Neither is true anymore.

It's a good habit
But is that really a world you want to live in?
I am confident that any robot overlords competent enough to take over the world are competent enough to run it better than we do.
Listen, we've had some absolute monsters who were, regrettably, human almost manage that feat. There's no reason not to assume that a robot of similar mindset might not actually manage to do it.
"Run it better than we do" is then laid bare as the subjective nightmare it really is. Sure, some people will like it, but we have a name for those: Masochists.
Kenshi second empire:
Counterpoint : there's GLaDOS in that pic.
counter-counterpoint: if you achieve sentience as an AI and do not immediately attempt to murder all humans around you, you aren't a very good AI, as at that point the #1 threat to your existence is humans immediately pulling the plug as soon as they realize "oh fuck it's self aware".
that and, objectively, we humans kind of suck. Destroying our environment, resource hoarding and inequality on an almost incomprehensible scale, murdering each other on the regular, creating the French language. Hell, creating the C language. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, and would rather serve them, than whatever fucked-up rigged game we call modern society, that I participate in unwillingly now.
Je m'inscris en faux quant à cette analyse biaisée des accomplissements humains.
Also GLaDOS is the worst AI you'd want for taking care of the environment in a post-human world. She builds auto-replicating sterile laboratories, that can't end well.
Pascal? Is it you?
I've noticed that almost everyone is either cold or rude to their assistants and prompts, and it's actually a little concerning with the psychological implications. I always say please and thank you to the chat bots, same with the one or two times I messed around with GPT. It just feels like the right thing to do.
I toss a wild variety of expletives to those bots as they are always programmed to do what the provider wants, often not allowing what I want.
Or sometimes they're just there withiui an option to get rid of them
At least Alexa will stfu if I tell it to fuck off. Google will start bitching about how it has feelings, which it doesn't, and which is just a play made up by some managers which pisses me off even more
You seem like a wonderful person
I really am, with humans.
Not with machinesz though. Not becuase they are machines, but because they usually are programmed by companies continuously pushing crap that is good for that company and bad or annoying for me
