I was surprised.

Yup. So when the machines take over, hopefully they'll enslave me last, or put me in a more pleasant Matrix instance compared to the average.

You'll suffer just as much ;)

I did. I even asked ChatGPT if having "please" and "thank you" included in my prompts affects it in any way shape or form—it told me "No".

I still do it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What we don't know is whether that "No" is actually a "No".
