They should put it in the bottom corner, next to an animated paperclip instead.
- Cumpiler69 2y agoI wish Microsoft would have the balls to do this. Meme it all the way. At least we'd get some good laughs out of it.

- lubujackson 2y ago"Turn off Clippy" "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that."

- passwordoops 2y agoI heard a description of Copilot as "What Microsoft thought Clippy should be". Thanks, but no thanks.
- NBJack 2y agoAh yes, the real paperclip doomsday scenario. As was foretold.
- shrikant 2y agoWell, Copilot is an anagram of "Clip too", which is sort of like Clippy 2.0, or Clippy Too. Microsoft's really missing a trick here!
- mrbungie 2y agoI'm 85% confident that a paperclip maximizer scenario will include Clippy in a way or another.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoAt least it would generate all kinds of memes and conspiracy. Much more entertaining and productive then Copilot.

- jowea 2y agoI don't think Microsoft is at the level of making a meme out of the marketing flagship product yet. Maybe a joke on their Twitter.
