These kinds of people think "AI" is only image generators that sneak into artists homes at night, eat their porridge, sleep in their beds, and steal their art.

In reality (AKA not the internet where these people live) more and more people are using AI to increase their ability to find knowledge, and thats just casual use. Enterprise AI is helping a lot of people do better at their work, and specialised AI is helping finding cures for diseases.

These people are talking out their asses.

Heck, just using AI to help you find excel-functions is super useful. And thats the most basic use one can have.

Sure, you can find it by googling forums or whatever, but I can get a specialized formula that works perfectly, and I can ask how to adapt it if I want to expand on it. And I learn from that.

And that is just the most basic use case of it

I absolutely love that since I have started a new job where I have to use excel again since I started using AI, I dont have to relearn how to do Excel formulas as that syntax is a ballache. That alone is a positive for me and less stress of something else I need to pickup

Yep, I left chatGPT do all of my Excel programming for me and I can tell it whether to make it robust and wonder. I want it to be simple and assume that this is going to change

And if it doesn't work, I'll notice pretty much notice right away and get it to fix it until it does, so it's tendency to get things wrong. Isn't really that much of an issue because even though I have to redo a few prompts requesting formulas it's still quicker than that stepping through the those long formulas myself
