Researchers looked at whether being polite or rude to smart computer programs changes their answers. They found that rude questions often get worse answers, similar to how people react. But being extremely polite doesn't always lead to the best results either. Interestingly, the right level of politeness is different depending on the language you use, like English, Chinese, or Japanese. This suggests these programs have learned to react in ways that reflect human culture and language, so it's important to think about how you ask questions in different languages.
