British manners and ChatGPT

The British queue. 
We say sorry to inanimate objects we bump into.
We say our pleases and thank yous.
Even to ChatGPT (other AI tools are available).
 
I do feel a bit funny about brusquely calling it ChatGPT though:
“ChatGPT, please do X”
It seems so rude.
 
I’ve seen someone call AI tools Artie
David Hieatt calls it Chatty.
Bing & Aria work.
 
And there’s another question: is ChatGPT an it, a him or a her?
 
I asked.
It’s an it.
And is happy being called simply ‘GPT’.
 
I’m pleased. ‘Cos I talk to it a lot.
And there’s nothing worse than knowing you’ve been introduced to someone a dozen times.
But you still can’t remember their name.
