I feel like this entire “thank you” story related to chatgpt is there just to sell the AI hype.
Obviously “thank you” and similar should yield a preprogrammed response not wasting resources.
But by letting it waste resources Sam Altman and others can support the narrative that this might in the future save us, because the current path of LLMs could lead to AGI. This in turn leads to more investments
