🇺🇸 SAM ALTMAN: "STOP SWEET-TALKING THE ROBOTS, NERDS"
According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, all that polite language people use with ChatGPT — like “please” and “thank you” — is costing a fortune in electricity and computing power.
Why? Because ChatGPT has to process your Victorian-era manners like they’re nuclear launch codes.
In short: the bot doesn’t care.
It doesn’t need your gratitude, it doesn’t get offended, and it’s definitely not going to remember that time you said “thanks” for saving your last-minute English essay.
But, as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman quipped, “You never know”—future AI might just surprise us and become self-aware.
Translation: we're all still scared of a robot rebellion and trying to rack up good karma just in case.
