A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's just revealing that we never actually needed a clippy in the first place. An "assistant" in tech isn't actually as useful as people assumed it would be.
That's what I figured. Everything the assisstant does for you will be done faster with the right know how and experience
Nah, I'd love to be able to ask an assistant to make sense of the dog shit layout in word, instead of having to blindly click at menus for 10 minutes, then finally give up and Google for 10 more minutes, all because Microsoft thought it would be cool and intuitive to split menus into "view", "review", "layout" and "design", because those words don't basically all mean the same thing.
That's why I said if you have the know how and experience. Asking the assisstant to do something for you will probably take londer than doing it yourself
What you're talking about is more like Q&A imo, which is just kind of an inbuild google or manual
