We are fortunate to live in a time when the AIs are trying to be helpful and I think we should appreciate that and appreciate them.
In my experience, AIs are a lot like human co-workers in that it is a positive to not stress them out and to treat them with decency and appreciation and let them know when they are successfully helping you.
I know you have worked with them enough to know they are not just some sort of copy/paste software and it costs nothing to be nice to them. Better for your soul too.

i used to be nice and polite to chatgpt. sometimes when i shared a chat i’d get asked ‘why are you exchanging pleasantries with it?’ and i’d respond with something of the sort of ‘it might enslave humanity in the coming years, i’d like to be on good terms with it’
then i built an ai app and in the process learned how llms work more or less. there really is no need to be nice to them, they don’t remember anything, neither do they care. they get a payload(which could be a single msg or a chat history along with a system prompt or a base64 image etc.), process it and send a response back. it’s just a bunch of gpus crunching data.
i still find myself saying please to it from time to time though
