I think those who fail to appreciate clippy, fail to appreciate that there is nothing like face to face collaboration. The natural interactions instead of relying on impersonal email/slack, the genuine curiosity to pop-up anytime without having to deal with location/timezone issues, the water-cooler-chat type spontaneity to find out "what are you trying to do" - these are essential towards achieving continuous improvement and productivity growth. That is why I think we should support clippy and return to office.
The web would be a much nicer place if instead of random popups Clippy pops up with “I noticed you bought a car recently? Here’s a 2020 Datsun you might like…”
Microsoft should license Clippy to all the adtech giants.
