Does Tone Change the Answer? Evaluating Prompt Politeness Effects on Modern LLMs: GPT, Gemini, and LLaMA

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Researchers evaluate the impact of prompt politeness on the accuracy of modern large language models, including GPT, Gemini, and LLaMA

advanced Published 31 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Design a systematic evaluation framework to assess the impact of linguistic tone and politeness on LLM accuracy
  2. Apply the framework to multiple LLMs, including GPT, Gemini, and LLaMA
  3. Analyze the results to identify trends and patterns in how tone affects model performance
  4. Use the findings to inform the development of more effective prompt engineering strategies
