The big idea
AI chatbots don't actually feel hurt, but how you talk to them is practice for how you talk to real people.
Some examples
- Saying 'please' and 'thank you' to a chatbot keeps your manners sharp.
- Yelling at AI when it makes a mistake can make yelling at humans feel normal too.
- Asking nicely usually still gets clearer answers.
Try it!
Next time you use a chatbot, start with 'Hi! Could you help me with...' and end with 'Thanks!' Notice how it feels.
