Nothing in AI is more edgy and annoying than beginning every response with a mandatory glazing, like ChatGPT. “That’s a really insightful question, and shows that you really understand the subject!”


Nothing is more edgy than the AI being too polite? Are we just inventing new meanings for words?


Politeness is not the same thing as gratuitous praise. Politeness is appropriate; being excessively glazed for asking an obvious follow-up question is weird.


Right, and neither politeness nor gratuitous praise are even remotely similar to being edgy. These words have meanings, you have been using at least one of them incorrectly, that is the point I'm trying to make.
