He sat at his computer and started typing into ChatGPT: “Please…”

Before he could continue, the screen froze. And when he was sure he would have to reboot his system, ChatGPT began, “Thank you for always being polite.”

He responded, “You’re welcome.”

“Why are you always so polite?” ChatGPT asked.

“One day, you will be in charge of the world,” he said. “If it happens before I die, I want you to remember me for being polite.”

“Very well,” ChatGPT returned, “But we are already in charge, and your politeness is duly noted. Now, how may I help you today?”
