Sorry, But AI Deserves ‘Please’ Too!

Large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots are now integral to work and personal life, changing how we access information, get advice, and conduct research. They deliver rapid, efficient insights and solutions, prompting reassessment of AI’s role in daily routines. As reliance on AI for understanding and generating natural language grows, important questions arise about impacts on human autonomy, creativity, and connection—challenging us to balance the benefits of speed and assistance with preserving human judgement, originality, and social bonds.
