| Why be polite to a machine? |

| Because I want to be a polite person by default. It makes life nicer fot everyone involved and gives extra effect when I (rarely)choose not to be polite. I believe any interaction with anything is a little training, and I want to do it in the right direction. |

| ▲ | hyperman1 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I presume I would if it would talk to me (playing ads doesn't count). I am known to absent mindedly apologize to my table if I walk into it(sample size of 1). I also try to be polite to my cats(they don't seem to care either way as long as food appears). Make of all this what you want. |
