Clippy | The World’s Worst AI Assistant

Thanks to Storyblocks for sponsoring this video! Download unlimited stock media at one set price with Storyblocks: In 1997, Microsoft released its latest version of Office with a new feature! Now, if you ever had any questions, your new assistant was there to help. His name? Clippit, or commonly known as Clippy. Originally intended as a way to capitalize on the findings of a research paper published at Stanford University, Clippy instead ended up creating even more issues than before. Rather than helping people with their problems, he often just took up space, asked the same questions repeatedly, never took the user’s responses into account, and distracted focused users, even leaving many infuriated. Clippy has since cemented himself in history as one of Microsoft’s most embarrassing projects, as well as one of the worst AI tools in history, leaving behind a very mixed legacy. Some people love him, others hate him ...and even some are thinking of bringing him back? Website: Merchandise: Buy Me a Coffee: Google : just kidding.
