People aren’t just hoping you’ll show up—they’re yearning for you to be present. Fully present. Give your attention to others with intention, because they deserve it. Every. Day. And truthfully? There’s no better way to spend your time. #HR #HRCommunity #EncouragementFriday

Liked this piece by @stephenkb.bsky.social on being polite to chatbots. Another reason for doing it is that with some websites, it's unclear if the chat facility is run by humans or #AI so I always err on the side of caution.

Should you say ‘thank you’ to ChatGPT?

If we don’t watch our manners with machines we may forget to treat people with respect, too
