That's an insult to Clippy. At least Clippy tried to be useful. These LLMs don't even try.

Not old enough to actually havd any experience with clippy (I think the earliest Windows UI I ever touched was XP, but that was made before i was born lol), but at least Clippy was local and didn't steal your data right? Even if he was useless he could be turned off and didn't stalk you.

Yes, Clippy existed at a time where your computer wasn't expected to be connected to the internet 24/7.

Which is the only reason why Clippy didn't steal your data. If it could have, it would have.

Nah. In the 1990s personal data wasn't valuable to Microsoft because they weren't selling advertising at the time.

Clippy was there only to sell more copies of office.

Instead people installed BonziBuddy, which did all the stealing and stalking.
