People did talk about that though. There were so many allusions to Clippy when Copilot was launched, and even before that.
Based on Google Gemini and the sheer number of restrictions Microsoft had to place on Bing to prevent chaos.
I think saying that it “works” is a stretch.
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.
That’s what I figured. Everything the assisstant does for you will be done faster with the right know how and experience
Nah, I’d love to be able to ask an assistant to make sense of the dog shit layout in word, instead of having to blindly click at menus for 10 minutes, then finally give up and Google for 10 more minutes, all because Microsoft thought it would be cool and intuitive to split menus into “view”, “review”, “layout” and “design”, because those words don’t basically all mean the same thing.
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!”
