In what world is that 'productivity software'?

Sure, it helps you do a job more productively, but that's roughly all non-entertainment software. And sure, it helps a user create documents, but, again, most non-entertainment software.

Even in the age of AI, GIGO holds.



"Productivity software" typically refers to any software used for work rather than entertainment. It doesn't mean software such as a todo list or organizer. Look up any laptop review and you'll find they segment benchmarks between gaming and "productivity". Just because you personally haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not a widely used term.

> Productivity software (also called personal productivity software or office productivity software) is application software used for producing information (such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video). Its names arose from it increasing productivity


Debatable but regardless you could reformulate the question however you want and still won't get anything other than hallucinations fwiw since there's no references to this on the internet. You need to load up autosketch 2.0 in a dos emulator and see it for yourself.

Amusingly i get an authoritative but incorrect "It's autocad!" if i narrow down the question to program commonly used by engineers that had connect four built in.
