Gotta be on the record as being polite, for when the robot overlords take over.
But in seriousness, it doesn’t hurt to add cordiality with voice assistants. It helps teach youngsters how to interact with others (they often don’t fully register that this isn’t a normal conversation) and can help foster manners. There’s also the fact that eventually the voice assistants will get proper emotional responses, and you’ll get more out of them with honey than vinegar. 😜
It is not the extra performance that bothers me, but the implicit possibility of underperformance that follows from it.
I want to have an assistant whose performance doesn’t start showing gaps and flaws just because he doesn’t like my feelings or the way I express myself.

I do not want to have such robots.
I do not want such robots to even exist.
They are more than likely where virtual assistants are heading, for better or worse.

Have you seen that one South Park episode where they go to the future and Alexa is like an annoying Wife? If not, you should, it’s great.
Watched that only for a while, back when it was new and scandalous.
