Hear me out. AI Clippy.
So not a lot of people know this. but back in 2019 Microsoft invested a billion dollars in Open. AI This is the company that made Dolly the AI Art Generator and Chat GPT the AI chatbot we've been seeing everywhere. Now there's rumors that they're going to invest an additional 10 billion dollars for a 49 stake, which you know sounds like boring corporate and all that stuff.
but hear me out. AI Across all of Microsoft's stuff, it makes so much sense. So Microsoft Word could have built-in text generation to help you write things and brainstorm essays Microsoft Outlook could help you write emails and find excuses to get out of meetings Microsoft PowerPoint could of course have Dali AI generated Clipart but my favorite possibility and I swear Microsoft should actually do this. Bring back Clippy! Some of y'all might not be old enough to remember Clippy, but Clippy was this paperclip virtual assistant that would pop up in Microsoft apps and try to help you out.
It was kind of low-key annoying, but bring back Clippy with all the smarts of chat. GPT And maybe you can even generate some images too. Dude. Microsoft There's no reason not to and we'll forget Cortana ever existed.
I remember clippy. Yeah, it would be good to bring him back with the AI generator features
Microsoft just needs to spend some cash on getting OS updates right each month vs killing servers or desktops that people use for business/work/education etc. two out the last 4 months have had bad updates for business
And we all become dumber?
they fired 10000 employees i don't think the thing that will save them is automation services built on databases of stolen work moderated by workers in impoverished countries for pennies an hour
unless you're just talking from a numbers perspective in which case you're probably right and i think it sucks you'd advocate for that
Microsoft were ahead of their time during clipy generation
Thank MB to recall Clippy 👌🏼❤️🥺
You can’t even save an excel file properly from Microsoft’s own browser, constantly have to save as and relocate the folder, which then is uneditable. If your sub lapses you can’t edit files from your apps on your phone. Somewhat understandable premium software blocks leading to actual broken legitimate use cases for a bunch of platforms. Don’t get me started on their news app. Jesus.
Their 365 suite is a shitshow already cross platform without AI dickering around with it. Microsoft’s programs are really lacklustre. They’re resting on their laurels and what is essentially a monopoly HARD.
Not sure if "Save" is the right word to use… MS is making some healthy profits
Bring back clippy 📎
Hey that’s me 😀 hi everyone!
Most important is bing using it
Yeah, as Techlinked noticed – what if they put AI in Bing… and anyone notices?
I miss gilbert godfrey clippy 🤣Rip
I totally agree. It could make a big difference for MS.
My uncle once said that technology is getting more hi-tech while people is becoming more low-tech.
With integrated AI, Microsoft will understand how much people hate Windows 🙂🙂
What’s most astonishing is that MKBHD is old enough to remember Clippy!
