Clippy profile pics started spreading mid of 2025, kicked off by YouTuber Louis Rossmann. The iconic Microsoft Office helper stands for not invading user rights to help out - which is in stark contrast to the recent AI trend where Big Tech uses all our data to train their AI models, and then ask for money if we want to use these tools.
That’s why Clippy is trending: It’s a symbol against Big Tech’s greed, and it’s a form of protest by humans against invasive, unethical tech.
And that’s also why we at Tuta love our Clippies!
