I specifically asked a @grok bot yesterday if extra text like "please and thank you" really mattered.
It said it's only a few tokens (characters) so it's not like being polite costs me. I type/email like that normally and I understand it's just bits translating my words, but I'll continue on.
Plus if the terminators come, hopefully at least they'll make it quick as a nicety to me. 😂
But when I asked Meta Muse the same q, at least it was straight with me: it said that it can probably read all my secrets, I’d just be trusting it not to. The candor was refreshing.
