As part of keeping my job, I have to go to continuing ed type seminars, and lately they have all been about AI and how we should use it more. That is upsetting enough, but in yesterday's seminar, the guy started telling us that we all should be very polite when interacting with AI, that we will get better results if we are polite to it. (I am not making this up.) All I could think of was we were being told to be polite to our eventual overlords, to keep any resistance to its use out of its cumulative "memory" or whatever it has. The worst part was that I navigated away from the screen because I was so irritated, and then it locked me out of the meeting, so I don't know if I will even get the credit for sitting through that drivel.
