OpenAI spends millions to process polite phrases such as "Thank You" and "Please" with ChatGPT

For all its advanced features, running AI is considerably expensive, necessitating extensive capital for the underlying hardware and power consumption, El.kz cites tomshardware.com.

It turns out that engaging in casual conversation and polite exchanges leads to "tens of millions of dollars" in expenses for companies like OpenAI. Still, that company's CEO, Sam Altman, considers this investment worthwhile because even though these responses might seem insignificant, they make using AI a touch more humane.

Many of us use Artificial Intelligence daily, largely for seeking assistance, but a subset of users have formed a deeper connection and converse with it like they would a friend. I clearly recall being taught in the first grade, "Computers cannot feel," as one of the primary differences between man and machine. While AI cannot exercise emotions, its perceived human-like nature in these interactions instinctively makes us blurt out courtesies like "Thank You" and "Please."
