Louis Rossman did a video a while back basically suggesting it as a form of visible protest against the over reach of the tech industry.
Like “clippy wouldn’t try and harvest all your data or force you to make accounts you don’t want, sure he could be annoying, but you could turn him off.” Like the worst thing tech companies used to do was something like clippy, maybe annoying but trying to be helpful
It’s also like, they only weren’t harvesting your data back then because they didn’t know it would be worth something. It’s this myth that the corporations used to be good, as if they ever were.

Thanks
The whole thing seems silly to me since Copilot acts the same as Clippy and is basically Clippy 2.0
This comment seems silly to me because calling a mostly useless local ‘Get Help’ tool basically the same as a LLM data aggregation tool is absurd.
