Clippy Raised Us Differently

Kids grew up with ChatGPT. I grew up with Clippy, we are not the same. I have your child. It looks like you're writing a ransom note. Would you like help? Use stronger language, you'll get more money. Cancel

A man proudly compares growing up with Clippy to children growing up with ChatGPT, then the clip cuts to Clippy offering help with a ransom note and suggesting stronger language to get more money. The joke is that the old Microsoft assistant was bizarrely unhelpful and accidentally criminal compared with modern AI. Capital Cities’ upbeat synth-pop song “Safe and Sound” makes the escalation feel playful and absurd.
