I'm actually sadder now that, based on your comment, you approach the world in such a transactional way.

The purpose of being polite in your interactions isn't just about what you get out of the interaction. It's also about what you get out if it.

I'm a naturally grumpy person. But as I'm getting older, I've been learning that even faking being nice in my daily interactions helps to make me feel better. Lower heart rate, better mood, better mental clarity. It's all incremental effects too and I feel better day to day than I used to.

Using polite language with an ai or even just a fancy predictive text model is still worth it, if only for yourself.
