wasnt burnie the one who talked about how he wanted to get on robots' good side when they rise up during the rt podcast?

I’m a few episodes behind so I don’t know if he talked about it more, but recently he said something along the lines of only saying thank you once is fine because it’ll remember. i disagree, and will continue to be nice with every interaction

I too am polite to robots. I’m sure they’re annoyed about it but maybe it’ll save my life one day

I’m worried about the opposite being the case too, “These humans are too inefficient with speaking, wasting time and breath with courtesies. Eliminate them!”

Remember, Burnie's argument is our speech is so slow to AI that saying "thank you" is just drawing the conversation out to them.

I'm sure those chatbots have an extra layer of prompts that ensure politeness. Still, knowing it's just predictions based on mostly online data, I rather ask nicely to make sure I get a good answer, just like I would on message boards.
