BlockBeats news, on April 21, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the computing power and electricity consumed when users say polite phrases like “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT are causing OpenAI to lose millions of dollars. Engineers like Carl Youngblood believe that being polite to AI is a moral obligation, and rude daily interactions can lead to a degradation of interpersonal skills. Epoch AI data analyst Josh You stated that due to improvements in model and hardware efficiency by 2025, each ChatGPT query consumes about 0.3 watt-hours, and polite expressions do not generate much energy consumption. According to a Future survey in December 2024, 67% of American users remain polite to AI assistants, with 55% believing it is the right behavior, and 12% doing so out of concern of being held grudges by AI. This portion of users worries that in the future, when AI develops consciousness, it will differentiate treatment of humans based on historical interaction attitudes.
