The physics of AI are relentless. Unlike traditional software that responds with minimal processing, generative AI models spin up massive computations every time they're prompted, even for a simple "thank you." Adding a few extra words to a prompt may seem trivial, but in practice, it means more data is processed, more servers are engaged, and more electricity is burned. And yet users who adopt polite language tend to get better, more cooperative responses from AI tools like Copilot.
