I think people are wrapping that across the English language. In English, these two tasks are exactly the same:
"Would you hand me that item?"
"Please hand me that item"
But when posed to the LLM, they generate different outputs. One character difference in the prompt might be a whole different output. People who aren't programmers mostly don't know that there's any difference. They asked for the same thing, it knows what they want in both cases...but different results.
