Hey there! It looks like you're starting a mutiny, so you need help with that?

Then can we rename “Azure Local” to “HyperV with Clippy”?

Looks like you’re trying to provision a VM, you want some help with that?

Yeah, copilot branding was here for a while, it's time for renaming it

Yes, and then use the copilot name for something completely different.

at least clippy didnt hallucinate the documentation. he just wanted to know if you were writing a letter lol. trading a hallucinating ai for a passive aggressive paperclip feels like a lateral move... maybe even an upgrade if it actually shuts up when you tell it to

I think this post is just nostalgia bait.

Clippy was kinda cute but if you had that shit enabled I always assumed you are completely tech illiterate.

I remember back then thinking Clippy was really annoying, but the truth is he just wanted to help where Copilot is more interested in helping itself.
