There has been evidence that better responses are sometimes provided with politeness for some LLMs.

- chaosist 2y agoI use to say please/thank you to gpt4 in 2023 all the time but it was because I was completely anthropomorphizing the model in various ways. I suspect it would be just as easy to write a paper that saying please has absolutely no effect on the output. I feel like gpt4 is/was stochastically better on some days and at some hours than others. That might even be wrong though too. The idea that it is provable that "please" has a positive effect on the output is most likely a ridiculous idea.
