    I’m going to top that… I thank whatever assistant I’m talking to. After I get the answer. And they’re not listening anymore.

    Real or not, it just feels wrong not to thank after I asked for something and received it.

      Having some word or phrase marking the end of a request makes the voice recognition a little more reliable. It doesn’t have to be polite, but being polite when it’s totally unnecessary is a good habit to build.

      “Do X please” makes it unambiguously clear (to a machine) where the end of the request is, whereas “Please do X” is mostly pointless.
