The Worst Of The Worst

GitHub Copilot went from "helpful coding assistant" to "that guy who won't shut up at standup" real quick. Sure, you can ask it anything, but maybe you shouldn't have given it the ability to inject suggestions into literally every line of code you write. Nothing quite captures the developer experience of typing a simple function name and watching Copilot hallucinate an entire microservices architecture you didn't ask for. The polite thing to do? Tell it to kindly back off and let you think for yourself. Sometimes the best AI assistance is no AI assistance. Fun fact: Copilot's suggestions are based on billions of lines of public code, which means somewhere in its training data is probably that cursed PHP script from 2009 that you're desperately hoping nobody ever finds.

Before ChatGPT was sliding into your DMs with unsolicited advice, there was Clippy—the paperclip that NOBODY asked for but EVERYONE got. You type two words and this absolute menace pops up like "It looks like you're writing a letter" as if you needed a sentient office supply to state the obvious. The audacity! The sheer NERVE of this little guy interrupting your workflow to offer "help" that was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. And that passive-aggressive "Just type the letter without help" option? Chef's kiss. Pure psychological warfare disguised as customer service. Truly the original "AI assistant" that made us all appreciate the beauty of a simple, judgment-free text editor.
