Sam Altman: Users 'polite language about ChatGPT adds millions of dollars to OpenAI's energy consumption

According to online reports, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the computing power and electricity consumed by users saying polite words such as "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT are costing OpenAI millions of dollars. Engineer Carl Youngblood and others believe: "Being polite to AI is a moral obligation, and rough daily interactions can lead to the degradation of interpersonal skills." Josh You, a data analyst at EpochAI, said that due to the improvement in model and hardware efficiency in 2025, each ChatGPT query consumes about 0.3 watt-hour, and polite words will not generate much energy consumption. According to a Future survey in December 2024, 67% of American users will be polite to AI assistants, 55% of whom think this is the right behavior, and 12% are afraid of being "held grudges" by AI. These users are worried about AI in the future. After consciousness, humans will be treated differently based on historical interaction attitudes.
