“The internet used to talk all the tike about how they love their personal fbi agents”
Comment on Meet Mico, Microsoft’s AI version of Clippy

Users: We are putting our PFP as clippy because it symbolises a time where software worked locally and just wanted to help without spying on you.
Microsoft: wow they love that lil clippy fella let’s make co pilot into a piss blob that floats around the screen spouting random facts its learnt from surveiling the users every move. It will be like their own personal FBI agent they will love it.

I’m still not sure if Microsoft just doesn’t get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants… but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I’m not sure Mico will age as gracefully as he did, though.

Bringing Clippy back as Copilot seems like the easiest, most obvious win Microsoft could get. I swear most of their customer facing decisions around stuff like this (and Xbox) are easy slam dunks that they fumble in the absolute dumbest fashion.
