Clippy returned (as an unnecessary “AI”)

Reposted Clippy returned (as an unnecessary “AI”) by Hidde de Vries.

"We've got to think about whether or not the features we build with this are actually useful, actually unnecessary or somewhere in between. We don't have to add “AI” to every product, even in an industry where we see investors push for that, we can choose to do otherwise."

I have strong feelings about generative AI. But Hidde's example is but one of the many ways it has kinda already jumped the shark.
