IIRC clippy wasn’t necessarily useful, but if you had zero clue wtf you were doing it wasn’t entirely pointless and most importantly, you could trust that the information provided was accurate, albeit not very often relevant.
So you are telling me there are people willing to click [Next] through a clippy tutorial but not help.
(Imho people just don’t read anything anyone, no popups, especially they don’t read errors)

LLMs don’t even have that going for them.

At some time, it offered templates and grammar verification.
If you think depending on a unreliable heuristic to steal your focus and give you those things at random times is “useful”, than yeah, it was.
