I’ve always liked to speculate that using polite language is rewarded by openAI either by elevating the customers client score elevating the resources available to them if there uneven is such a thing.
I have no idea why but maybe it’s the kind of thing I’d push for if I was CEO to try and help make the world a more civil place maybe even as some form of Easter egg or light hearted prank.
First document is an forum thread full of "go fuck yourself fucking do it", and in this kind of scenario, people are not cooperative.
Second document is a forum thread full of "Please, take a look at X", and in this kind of scenario, people are more cooperative.
By adding "Please" and other politness, you are sampling from dataset containing second document style, while avoiding latent space of first document style - this leads to a model response that is more accurate and cooperative.

Just my 2 cents
