>Doesn't hurt to be nice. Devil's advocate counterpoint: Sam Altman said it wastes energy. He is obviously correct. Therefore, by saying this, one can do napkin math and estimate how much harm you have done to the environment. Adding up all of your "thank yous" will generate a number that shows how much you have directly harmed the environment. Here's ChatGPT's take: "Equivalent to driving a gasoline car for 0.1 meters" Scenario 1: 1 million “thank you” replies/day 1,000,000 × 0.02 g = 20,000 grams = 20 kg CO₂/day Per year: 20 kg × 365 = 7,300 kg = 7.3 metric tons CO₂/year Equivalent to: Driving ~36,000 km (22,000 miles) in a gas car The annual emissions of ~1 U.S. household’s electricity use
