Should We Respect LLMs? Studying the Influence of Politeness on LLM Performance
- gnicholas 3y agoI was interested to see this on the heels of the discussion about tipping/threatening LLMs a few days ago [1] (discussed here: [2]). Based on the examples at the end of the paper, it looks like their inquiry was somewhat orthogonal to the tip/threat investigation. That is, the tips and threats can be done in a way that is polite, when "rude" is defined as calling the LLM a scumbag. Putting these two studies together, I wonder if the best outcome could be achieved by politely asking the LLM to do XYZ, offering a tip if it succeeds, and noting that terrible things will happen if it fails. 1: https://minimaxir.com/2024/02/chatgpt-tips-analysis/ https://minimaxir.com/2024/02/chatgpt-tips-analysis/ 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39495476 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39495476
