Recently, Amazon announced it had added new features (特點) to its smart assistant Alexa. One of the developments—a politeness feature—draws some parents’ attention. Their children keep forgetting their manners because they have become used to shouting orders at their Echo, a smart speaker similar to Alexa.

When kids ask Alexa to solve a math problem using the word “please” as in “Alexa, please tell me what 5 plus 7 is” —Alexa will not only give the correct answer, but also give the following response “Thanks for asking so nicely”.

However, some people believe kids shouldn’t have to thank a machine, as children can tell the difference between machines and humans. But then again, we don’t usually talk aloud to a fridge or an ATM, either.

“I ask Siri to turn on the lights or set an alarm in the same natural language that I use in day-to-day life,” commentator (評論員) Chaim Gartenberg wrote on the website. “It doesn’t matter that an Echo can’t hear or understand it—it matters that you say it.”

With the increasing use of AI (artificial intelligence), forming the habit of being polite in everyday life is becoming even more important, as the British research company ChildWise found. In January, it published a report warning that people who become used to cutting courtesies (禮貌話) and giving orders to digital assistants might become rude when dealing with others.

Traditionally, we can tell how nice people are by watching how they interact with a waiter. In a similar way, even if the AI or digital assistant doesn’t care about it, other people around us are going to experience how we interact with it.
