While some users expressed amusement at the thought, another user pointed out that ChatGPT should ideally have a solution to save electricity costs on courtesy words.

尽管一些用户对思想表达了娱乐性，但另一位用户指出，理想情况下应该有一个解决方案，以节省礼貌的单词。

Ya think they'd have a solution for that by now. Save some serious coin on the thank you and please.

Earlier this year, Altman disclosed that the cost of AI output has been decreasing tenfold annually as models become more efficient.

今年早些时候，阿尔特曼（Altman）透露，随着模型变得更加有效，AI产出的成本每年减少十倍。

In December 2024, a survey by Future among 1,000 American adults found that 67% of users were polite to AI assistants, with 55% doing so because it's the right thing to do, and the other 12% doing so out of fear that mistreating the bots could have negative consequences for them.

2024年12月，对1000名美国成年人的未来进行的一项调查发现，有67％的用户对AI助手们有礼貌，而55％的人这样做是因为这是正确的事情，而其他12％的用户则出于担心误解机器人可能对他们造成负面后果，而其他12％的人这样做。

Meanwhile, OpenAI is projecting more than a triple in revenue this year to $12.7 billion, despite increased competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek and others rapidly closing the gap.

同时，尽管来自中国初创公司DeepSeek的竞争和其他人迅速缩小差距，Openai今年的收入预计将超过三倍，达到127亿美元。

The company anticipates becoming cash-flow positive by 2029, when it forecasts revenue to exceed $125 billion.

该公司预计到2029年，当收入超过1,250亿美元时，该公司预计将成为现金流阳性。

As of January, OpenAI's primary product, ChatGPT, had around 218 million active users, while its image generation tool, Stable Diffusion, boasted over 349 million users.

截至1月，OpenAI的主要产品Chatgpt拥有约2.18亿活跃用户，而其图像生成工具稳定的扩散量超过3.49亿用户。
