The fascinating part for me is how they chatted with the machine, such as;

"Please write a short blog post..."

"Can you please look through..."

"Please continue investigating"

"Can you please confirm this?"

...and more.

I never say 'please' to my computer, and it is so interesting to see someone saying 'please' to theirs.

I talk to it like I talk to my coworkers. If I’m nice it/they are usually nice back. Maybe it doesn’t matter if I say please but I don’t overthink it and just treat it like any other chat. I consider it a good habit to just always be calm and respectful, not for the machine’s sake but for my own.

My team was making fun of me for starting all my chats with "Hi Claude"

I wouldn't make fun, I just think it is interesting.

I'm really terse. If it asks me a yes or no question, I just type "Y" or "N".

If I want it to confirm something, I say "confirm it".

I think I treat it like a command system, and want it to be as short as possible.
