Been seeing a lot of clippy pfps and sometimes those users are saying very racist shit. Just curious if anyone else had noticed this

I think it's a coincidence. People who have no coherent political views or principals (temporarily embarrassed f-u-got-miners) don't like it when AI is mildly annoying, and clippy is sort of an anti-AI icon ATM that would pander to techbro soft libertarians.

It's pretty annoying. Elon talked about AI paperclips a lot 10 years ago or so too.

And that's entirely coincidental.
