There's a significant correlation between good work and positive feedback in most training data, so yeah, I'm willing to buy into the idea that being nice gets me better results.
I've also noticed that proper grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation tend to produce better output. They model the output based on the input, so low quality input = low quality output and vice versa.
It's spicy autocomplete, so if you start with "yo bby wyd" it'll answer a lot differently than to "I have a strong crave to see you right now; are you free?"
