Dr GPT is smarter when you are polite and spell better in the prompt. I believe u can find some benchmarks proving it.

useless words
The writer of this article doesn't consider these words useless though. They are suggesting that these words may improve response quality.
I would argue that being polite also does good to the person writing that line.
