Ask HN: Can being polite yield better answers from LLMs?
If they were trained using questions from the internet and assuming that well-written inquiries yielded better answers, could this influence the responses of large language models when prompted?

- hammock 3y agoThe hypotheses are interesting. “Polite” and “well-written” are different concepts though
- Marciok 3y agoCorrect, I expressed myself poorly, I'm basically trying to understand if I write something like: "Please help-me solve the following problem, ..." VS "Solve this problem ..." Would affect in the quality of the answer.
- BillyTheMage 3y agoI'd be interested in several types of questions: - be polite, ask nicely - ask directly with no politeness or rudeness - be rude and demanding - be very disrespectful, call it names
- Marciok 3y agoInteresting! I'm considering setting up an experiment.
