I imagine this is why MS is finally backtracking a bit on the aggressive pushing of AI in every app. Theyโ€™re doing Clippy all over again, but OS-wide this time.

Just impressive how hard they managed to screw the pooch here. Have they forgotten that every other Windows release is universally hated? They had a good thing going until they discontinued Windows 10 before Windows 12 was out. Now theyโ€™ll probably need to rush out another version, because the name Windows 11 is forever tainted.

I liked Clippy. I hate AI
