It's a probabilistic generator. If you set the tone of the conversation it will follow it.

Try inserting a few jokes, puns etc into a conversation and you'll see that it responds kn kind.

Just like if you ask highly specific technical questions, it responds using highly technical language. If you ask questions in legalese it responds using precise legal terms.

That's what happens when a token predictor has a conversation: it can't have any tone other than what you give it.

So continue saying please, and you'll have more pleasant conversations.
