  "textContent": "I can’t imagine you’ve never used a Microsoft product. Assuming you have, you may have heard of Clippy.

Its most consistent features included being wrong and unhelpful. If the software industry had used user behavior metrics back then, the Clippy disable button would likely have been the most-used feature in Microsoft products.",
