seeing how people saying 'thank you' to chatgpt costs them 'millions', we should be able to bankrupt the company with a script to waste its time with other mundane pleasantries like "nice weather we're having" and "how is Mabel doing after her procedure?" - ThreadSky

"I hope when you come, the weather will be clement."

If “please” and “thank you” are eating into your business model then maybe your business model wasn’t that great to begin with.

I use chat exclusively for small talk

I don't understand how the llama LLM model from Meta can run on my laptop with good performance, but the chatgpt LLM model is a carbon-smoke belching beast heating up the planet with each "thank you" it has to ponder. When computational problems hit an exponential scaling wall they usually give up.

Before I realised how much energy it burns, I pestered CrAIyon with impossible things to draw, hoping that its electric synapses would hurt: Sylvia Plath poetry, unintelligible passages from tech manuals et al.
The idea of pestering the bots with annoying empty talk bots is otherwise charming.

how is anyone fooled by a ruinously expensive product no one will use unless it's free?

can you have them talk to each other?

I think about this a lot. Every query loses OpenAI money, so theoretically, some kind of script the is constantly chatting with the bot would drain the money pit. Unfortunately, ever query also gets put in the "people use and enjoy ChatGPT so you should invest more money in the pit" pile

a race to see which happens first, we bankrupt the company or boil the oceans dry
