Gratitude is no longer important in the tech world. Although users may be using these words to remain on AI’s good side in the event it takes over, it is costing companies millions of dollars. In the latest news, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has revealed how showing good manners to a ChatGPT model, such as saying “please” and “thank you,” adds up to millions of dollars in operational expenses.
When asked how much the company has lost in electricity costs from people being polite, this is what Altman had to say:
“Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”
While that may be so, Kurt Beavers, a director on the design team for Microsoft Copilot, noted how “using polite language sets a tone for the response,” and that when an AI model “clocks politeness, it’s more likely to be polite back.”

Even though politeness may come at a cost for the ChatGPT maker, these may be trivial when it comes to the immense scale at which the company operates itself. The company has recently released its latest artificial intelligence model, claiming that it can “ think with images”.
The main new reasoning model from OpenAI is known as the o3, while the smaller model released simultaneously is known as the o4-mini. The o3 allows users to upload whiteboards, sketches, and other images that AI can analyze and discuss.
The company is fiercely competing to stay ahead in the artificial intelligence race, facing intense competition from companies such as Google and Anthropic.
“For the first time, our reasoning models can independently use all ChatGPT tools — web browsing, Python, image understanding, and image generation. This helps them solve complex, multi-step problems more effectively and take real steps toward acting independently.”
O3 and o4-mini are OpenAI’s first AI models that have the ability to “think with images.” This implies that “they don’t just see an image, they can integrate visual information directly into the reasoning chain,” OpenAI noted.
