It's a translation of famous Lithuanian writer Vytautė Žiliskaite compilation of fairy tales which consists a tale about a preprogrammed robot interaction with a moth.
The reason I posted this tale is it taught me as a child to be kind to a machinery that behaves human-like. That's why I usually start my conversations with LLMs with "Would you please" while rationally understanding that they are most likely are not sentient beings.
What are your fiction stories that gave you similar effect?
The Culture series, or at least the first four books. I haven't finished Excession yet. And yeah, I usually say things like "Take your time, there's no rush", also because I remember reading that taking this approach can actually improve the quality of the output. It's not like I tested, though. Haha
