Digital interactions established with artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT can affect not only our online habits but also our communication styles in real life. The language learning platform Preply points out that basic polite expressions such as "please" and "thank you" are being replaced by the fast and direct commands used with artificial intelligence.
COMMUNICATION OF YOUNGER GENERATIONS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Recent research shows that 69% of Gen Z use "please" and "thank you" in their interactions with ChatGPT. While this may seem positive at first glance, experts state that this habit may not be permanent. The fact that artificial intelligence systems do not have an emotional structure may reduce users' tendency to use emotional language.
THE RISE OF DIGITAL POLITENESS
ChatGPT, which was launched in late 2022, quickly became the daily digital assistant for millions of people. In the last month, "ChatGPT" searches increased by 30%, reaching 519 million monthly searches. Interestingly, a 57% increase in "please ChatGPT" searches shows that interest in digital politeness is growing.
SIGNS OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION
Approximately 30% of users use direct commands that do not include politeness in their interactions with artificial intelligence systems. Especially for younger generations growing up in the digital world, this situation could be a harbinger of a social transformation as much as an individual one.
