Do you think your politeness/niceness to AI might be because you’re British? :) As a former English teacher, I always ask in complete sentences. I can’t help myself. I’m afraid Perplexity will think I’m uneducated if I don’t. But then again I’m obsessively re-reading and editing this comment to make sure it’s grammatically correct so you don’t think the same.
Ha! Yes maybe. I also couldn't possibly write in any kind of rough note form. Just because they are not a real person, doesn't mean our standards should slip!
I think the first thing I searched in a search engine around 1995 was the TV show Friends. It came back with a clip of the song "Smelly Cat." I was enthralled.
My first world wide Web search was Calvin and Hobbs. No idea why but wonder if I wanted to test how much it actually knew.
Have you seen the film Her? Joaquin Phoenix's character falls in love with AI, it hurt my brain a bit
Oh yes! I liked that film. Maybe I was seeing my future.

I was definitely less impressed by my Jane Austen search. I think it took me another ten years before I bothered with it again!
When I do voice search in Google, at the end I always say "Thank you Google."
And it replies "You're Welcome".
It makes me feel like we are pals.
I feel terrible now that I've not been thanking Google. I'll start now or they'll get rid of me when they take over the world.
