People did talk about that though. There were so many allusions to Clippy when Copilot was launched, and even before that.
It’s just revealing that we never actually needed a clippy in the first place. An “assistant” in tech isn’t actually as useful as people assumed it would be.
I often worry that the last thing we’ll all read is Clippy on every screen in the world saying “It looks like your planet is running out of oxygen. Bet you’d like some help now, huh bitch!”
…often?
Monthly at least
Many such cases
I heard this in Jack McBrayer‘s voice
It loons like you’re trying to make pizza… can I recommend a vintage Elmer’s Glue?
Clippy can get reincarnated with AI, but it will still be crappy.
On a side note, we can also bring back Bonzi Buddy 😂
we can finally Ask Jeeves
Alright, let’s not dogpile onto this, everyone.
Do you want an AI Tamagotchi?
And just for that extra bit of curse that the world needs these days: “Bonzi Buddy II is dedicated to the memory of Harambe”
He just chills there on the screen, dick out 24/7.
“works”
I was gonna say… you would first have to tell me what clippy was really meant to help with back in the day besides saying, here’s a link to the help page.
I think Microsoft did do an ad campaign about it
Maybe a modern Clippy would be great, but original Clippy was so annoying I’m not willing to give it a chance.
It looks like you are trying to point something out. I can help with that. 📎
An AI-powered Clippy… have we learned nothing from Star Trek Lower Decks about what can go wrong with this??
You do not get clippy. You get Office365, Edge, copilot and recall
