In the world of artificial intelligence, a fascinating question has recently been raised: “Is ChatGPT<\/a> better if you’re nice to it?”<\/p>\n

It was on the show Good Morning Business<\/em> on BFM Business<\/a> that journalist Anthony Morel explored this topic, notably as part of his segment Culture IA<\/em>. This question raises fascinating issues about how we interact with language models and how they adapt their responses. <\/p>\n

A revealing study from Waseda University<\/h2>\n

To better understand this dynamic, it’s worth looking at a study carried out by Waseda University in Tokyo<\/a>. Researchers observed that language models, like ChatGPT, often align with their users’ communication norms. <\/p>\n

In other words, the user’s tone and politeness can directly influence the quality of the AI’s answers. So, rude language can lead to an increase in errors in the generated responses. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, overly polite communication can also be a problem. Researchers noted that while politeness is generally seen as an advantage, too much courtesy can lead to less accurate answers. <\/p>\n

This raises the question of the right balance: how can you interact effectively with an AI without falling into either extreme?<\/p>\n
