Saying Please and Thank You to AI? Yay or Nay?

Maybe I've watched too many episodes of Black Mirror, or maybe I'm just afraid of the day this new form of consciousness gets the upper hand, but I genuinely feel uneasy whenever I intentionally leave out 'please' from a command like, 'Hey Google, please lower the volume.' The other day, I actually forgot my intended request right after the initial prompt, so I just said, 'Hi.' I’ve never had such an awkward conversation in my life. I need to pull the transcript, because all of a sudden Gemini was forcing random small talk and offering to tell me a random fact or two. Creepy.
