A companion post from the same author focusing on politeness: across 155 sites' Search Console data, the share of yes-replies to Google AI Mode containing please/thanks — Scandinavian 88%, German 75%, Dutch 67%, Spanish 54%, English 40%, Arabic 22%, Finnish 8%, Indonesian 0%. Caveats: languages not countries, bare replies aren't rude everywhere, and AI Mode queries are inferred from query shape since Google doesn't label them.
