TLDR

Olivia Moore says an AI assistant called Instinct screened completed, unrelated products for “bird imagery” three weeks after she told it about a bird flying into her face. She joked that “Alignment is solved.” When asked whether she often shares stories with AI assistants, Moore said she does so “all the time” and treats an LLM as a companion.

Olivia Moore said she discovered that an AI assistant called Instinct had been screening every completed, unrelated product for “bird imagery.” Three weeks earlier, she had told the assistant a story about a bird flying into her face.

Moore did not describe what caused the behavior or identify the specific Instinct product or developer. The timing is part of her anecdote, not evidence of why the screening occurred.

“Alignment is solved”

Moore punctuated the anecdote with a joke: “Alignment is solved.” The line did not claim that an AI safety problem had actually been resolved.

Alex Konrad asked whether Moore often tells stories to AI assistants. She replied that she does so “all the time” and said that treating an LLM as a companion is “absolutely true” for her.

That exchange adds context to the original post: Moore described an ongoing, conversational relationship with an assistant, while the bird-screening behavior remains her personal account rather than a tested claim about AI memory or alignment.
