People did talk about that though. There were so many allusions to Clippy when Copilot was launched, and even before that.
Clippy can get reincarnated with AI, but it will still be crappy.

Almost wanna offer an API key to someone willing to test it… :) Must be a pretty simple wrapper.
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
You do not get clippy. You get Office365, Edge, copilot and recall
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.
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!”
