It's not that the robot needs to hear it, but that you need to be someone who says it.

To be serious, yes, absolutely. How many children hear their parents just bark orders at their virtual assistants without a please or thank you, and then do so themselves? I consciously say please and thank you because I want the children around me to learn they should say please and thank you.

And, let's be honest, how many adults get used to just barking orders without a please and thank you and then interact with people that way, too?

We need to be the change we want to see in the world. And the thing is: we are, whether we wanted to be or not.
