Excel requires some skill to use (to the point where high-level Excel is a competitive sport), and AI is mostly an exercise in deskilling its users and humanity at large.

    I have a conversation about what I want to do and it provides suggestions and formulas or tools I wasn’t even aware of that stopped up productivity.

        You know it’s easier, efficient and better to have a conversation with an AI rather than read an entire manual that won’t contain the thing you need right?

        You know, all the things it’s advertised to do.

          Only to find the “AI” hallucinating functions that won’t work. Or won’t do the thing you were told they do.

            Most times it works. When it doesn’t, it’ll still get me 90% of a solution and I can use the manual or other means to finish it.
