It scores better on tests if you tell it that it&#x27;s an expert in the field. If you treat it like a dog, it&#x27;ll act like a dog. It returns the semantic space you point toward. In a way, it&#x27;s the mirror test for mankind.

It has no understanding of praise or punishment, it is simply a statistical engine that correlates tokens (which are not even words but byte sequences that can be made into words by concatenation).

I made a similar observation. Assuming it was trained on internet content, like fora conversations, it would make sense that a polite conversation is conducive towards usable results.

It&#x27;s not evolved yet to accept the appreciation to improve results, But It will do only if you say to do so.
