Customers I build AI chat features for also liken it to clippy. I think it’s a very common association.
I hope you accept that likening how it is intended, and I can't imagine that being a good thing. Clippy was universally panned. To me, I wouldn't be telling people that the thing I'm spending time working on was received as this generation's Clippy.
When talking with them I was surprised because they seemed to be invoking his name positively.
