Artificial intelligence (AI) is now part of our daily lives. Should we be polite to AI when we use it? Should we say “please” and “thank you” to chatbots (聊天机器人)? Some kids share their ideas.

11-year-old Aubrey thinks we should be polite to AI. Being polite is not just about good manners — it also helps us get more helpful answers. AI learns from how people talk to it. So if you are rude or in a hurry, AI may give answers that are not good enough.

Hanming, 10, disagrees. He says AI has no feelings. It is just a tool, like a computer. “Do you thank your computer after using it?” he asks.

Ethan, 12, says we should be polite to AI, just as we are to people. Kindness can spread, even to technology. Being polite to AI helps us become more thoughtful people.

11-year-old Asha says AI makes us work faster. We don’t need to say “please” or “thank you” to get AI’s help. We just need to use AI wisely, without worrying about whether we should be polite to a machine.
