I am always tempted to say please when I attempt (usually unsuccessfully) to use Siri or the Google voice recogniser.
Is it just me or should these bots/applications or whatever they are be designed with polite manners in mind?

I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

My mother used to say "Good manners cost nothing"
But then, she used to say "If a strange man offers you sweeties to get in his car, GO!" so it may not be a good recommendation.

When they take over the world, Siri will probably be our boss.
Being polite to her from the beginning would appear to be a good idea.

Ah! But then we will be able to give incorrect answers and misunderstand instructions. Can't wait...

Yup. It was at an awards dinner in London in 2001; IIRC.
He 'jently' hit me on the shoulder.

Shared a Qantas first class cabin with him and his entourage many years ago. Intimidating lot.
