Are You Better Off Being Rude To AI? (Hint, different AI has different preferences)

Описание: ChatGPT has a nationality. And it's affecting how you work.
A Penn State study found that being "rude" to AI improves accuracy by 4%—but that 4% equals just 2 extra correct answers out of 50 questions. So why does this pattern exist at all?
The answer reveals something bigger: AI has a built-in American accent. It was trained overwhelmingly on WEIRD cultures (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic), and it processes direct, low-context communication better than any other style.

In this video, I break down:

→. The Penn State politeness study and what the headlines got wrong
→. Why AI prefers directness (it's recognizing its own training data, not efficiency)
→. The "Which Humans?" study that proves ChatGPT clusters with the US, Canada, and Northern Europe
→. How this bias creates an incentive structure that's quietly homogenizing global communication
→. What happens when one communication style becomes the only valued style

This isn't about whether you should say "please" to ChatGPT, but understanding whose patterns AI was built to recognize and what that means for the rest of us.
