Personally, I always say "please" and "thank you" to Alexa. When she takes over the world I want her to remember that I was polite. Besides, I've read that the extra system traffic costs Jeff Bezos money.

Steve, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one trying to culture my 'AI manner'. I have a funny feeling that Alexa may have replied "you're welcome" once when I had expressed my thanks.
