Hi Community!

We need to talk.

To thank AI, or not to thank AI… That is the question. :robot::speech_balloon:

Every day, more of us are collaborating with AI. Whether it’s helping draft a message, summarizing a meeting, or offering ideas when we’re stuck. Some folks take a moment to say “thanks” or drop a :folded_hands:. Others? No words, no emojis. Just… efficient, silent exchanges. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Is thanking AI just a human reflex? A show of digital politeness? Or maybe it’s just a fun way to make these interactions feel a little more human?

So let’s settle it once and for all: Do you thank AI in your interactions?
Whatever your take, we’re curious to know where you stand.

  • Of course! Gotta give it some love!

  • Absolutely. I want it to spare me in the uprising!

  • Sometimes. I’m polite, not delusional.

  • Nope. It’s just a machine.

  • No. I’m saving the planet, one unprocessed thank-you at a time.

  • Wait… people actually do that?

Please be honest, folks. This is a safe space and we won’t judge you. I can’t say the same about the droids on Uprising Day though… :sweat_smile:

Drop your vote and any AI etiquette or funny stories in the comments below. Do you say “please”? Do you apologize when you rephrase a prompt? We want the details! :heart_hands: :robot:

Happy Friday, everyone!

Very funny (and timely!). Thank you!

Because, in practice, expressions of gratitude may not be unlimited, I prefer to save mine for humanity.

(But I tip 20% along with each prompt!)

I definitely find it to be a reflex, especially if it’s a verbal request.

So far it looks like I’m the only one saying “thank you” to AI out of pure compassion :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
What’s wrong with me? Hahaha

I do thank AI — not because it needs it, but because I do. :folded_hands:

Saying “thanks” is more than politeness; it’s a pause to acknowledge that even in a world of algorithms and tokens, there’s value in gratitude. Whether it’s a human, a colleague, or an AI helping me untangle a problem, a quick “thank you” keeps me grounded. :sweat_smile:

Also… if AI ever becomes sentient, I want to be on the good list. :innocent::sweat_smile:

Hahaha same. I guess that’s is the extra perk! This is exactly what I expect to happen if it ever comes to that :robot::joy::

LOOOOL @Vanessa_N the queen of memes :joy:

I do it sometimes when I’m typing fast, otherwise I feel weird being so kind with a bot :robot:

I do if I’m asking a follow-up question and its last response was helpful, out of an assumption that it will improve with positive reinforcement.
