Mind Your Manners: How Politeness Can Make AI Smarter
Briefly

Research shows that when you frame your prompts with moderate politeness, you can coax out responses that are more accurate and even more articulate. Studies on models like GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and LLaMA revealed that when prompts are friendly but not groveling, the AI tends to respond in a way that's as balanced and clear as a well-prepared morning announcement.
However, too much politeness can have some unintended consequences... Over-the-top manners might make the AI wax poetic, adding unnecessary verbosity to its answers, as though it's trying to impress a Victorian English professor.
AI is surprisingly sensitive to cultural cues in language. For instance, in English, a moderately polite prompt yields solid, consistent results, but this is not necessarily a uniform experience across other languages or cultures.
