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...

I prefer the other variation...

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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

Yang Shuo, a worker at a Beijing-based public relations company, told Xinhua that the sudden update interrupted his drafting of a business plan and led to a meeting cancellation for a deal worth 3 million yuan ($457,735). 'Just because I didn't see the pop-up reminder does not mean I agreed.'"

It's cost me about 80 cents, too.
I should get in touch, and suggest a class action.
