    The big thing here is that ‘polite’ words are being singled out as extraneous when there are tons of extraneous words being used. The focus is on words that make it seem like AI has feelings or intent.

    There is no reason to filter any words, because the entire point of LLMs is to take inefficient human communication and do stuff with it. ‘Please’ isn’t any more of a waste that ‘the’ or including a period at the end of a sentence.

    Not to mention the fact that the whole thing is so horribly inefficient that ‘extra’ words cost millions of dollars to process. Holy shit that is terrible design.
