User celebrates Instinct: finally an AI assistant that ignores your 'thanks'

A user jokingly thanks Instinct, an AI assistant that — after receiving a "thanks" message — finally doesn't reply with another round of polite filler. "I waited 5 years for this!"
The quip highlights a real design insight: having assistants recognize social pleasantries and stay silent beats forcing a reply, a small correction to the "AI is overly polite" problem.
