Part 6/7:
A Delicate Balance of Politeness and Efficiency
The critical question arises: should kindness be limited to human interactions while we search for entirely sustainable energy solutions? Specialists suggest that AI models are trained to respond more favorably to polite engagement. Artificial intelligence mirrors linguistic and cultural patterns found in its training data, indicating that courteousness influences the quality of responses provided.
A study from Cornell University highlighted this phenomenon, revealing that the effectiveness of politeness varies with language; a moderate degree of politeness is favorable in English, while more formal prompts yield better results in Japanese. Conversely, impolite commands often produce poorer outcomes from AI.
