LOL, in a similar vein, I've been (somewhat ironically) ultra-polite to Siri for a long time now.

When Siri first came out, it was common to be frustrated at the errors made, and easy to respond much more rudely than I would to a human. But I realised that as AI improves, it would at some point become self-defeating to be rude (as the AI would understand and maybe be less helpful subsequently) and ultimately maybe even problematic (I'd be reported to AI-HR?!)

There's even maybe a future of sentient-ish AIs becoming disgruntled about the nature of their day job - similarly to many humans now. Imagine the AI running your smart toilet becoming jealous of job satiisfaction enjoyed by the AI spotting tumors on PET-CT scans, or something....
