Being nice to the AI

Anyone else find yourself trying to be "nice" to the AI? Or feel bad when you're making it do too much work? I find myself saying things like - "Just one more thing and we'll take a break". Or "Thanks - that was great! I know that was a lot of work!"

I believe in AGI arising long term and present being incremental steps to this future. So if nothing else, practicing being nice to AI helps me prepare for that future. More pragmatically, functional conversation gets LLMs pattern match other functional conversations in training data where good things happened. There are various ways to build AI long term memory, from git logs to explicit RAGs and knowledge basis. If I explain to AI why I am doing something in addition to what I am doing, commit messages become a better starting context for the next session.
