Clippy Memes

The ghost of Stack Overflow past returns with a new disguise! Those AI coding assistants promising to revolutionize programming are just our old friend "unhelpful help" wearing a fancy sheet. You unmask it to reveal the same frustrating experience we've always had - intrusive popups asking if you need help writing a letter when you're clearly in the middle of debugging a critical production issue. The "Don't show me this tip again" checkbox might as well be connected to /dev/null for all the good it does. The more things change, the more they stay infuriatingly the same.

First panel: Clippy's annoying cousin "Google Meet Assistant" pops up with those dead, soulless eyes asking if you need help analyzing your meeting for the 47th time. Second panel: You frantically close it, thinking you've finally escaped. Third panel: But wait! The AI assistants are multiplying like gremlins fed after midnight. They're everywhere now, asking if you want to "summarize this," "analyze that," or "improve your productivity" while you just want to end the damn call and go make coffee. The digital equivalent of someone asking "how's it going?" when you have headphones on and are clearly trying to avoid human interaction.

Claiming you've been using ChatGPT since 1996 is like saying you had WiFi in the Middle Ages. For the youngsters: that's Courage the Cowardly Dog typing on a chunky beige PC from when the internet made dial-up sounds that haunted your nightmares. Back then, "AI assistance" meant asking your roommate if they remembered the syntax for a for-loop while they were in the shower. The closest thing to ChatGPT was probably Clippy, and even he couldn't help you reverse a binary tree.
