You realise that this is because Microsoft spent billions of dollars on what amounts to a new version of "Clippy" and it's just as helpful as the original.

If you're unfamiliar with the abomination, it's a dumber version of Copilot.

And somehow infinitely less charming

If they make it look like a paperclip and almost as useful I'd consider it

Oh, I'm somewhat familiar. Our school computer lab when setup had all windows 95 machines and I later got a xp at home so I got to play with office 2000 and such.

Iirc it never was able to help me with something. I thought they put in a interactive mascot or something. Like a mini-game you can play with while typing a letter to your principal.

Copilot has been little helpful sometimes though when I want to generate images of things made out of jeans.

Wait, clippy was supposed to be helpful?

Yeah, "Microsoft helpful", not actually helpful.
