    There was no thinking, “assumptions”, addition, or conversions. It saw numbers and generated another number that hit it’s “this should go next” filter first.

      Yup…the comment above yours is giving copilot way too much credit lol. That shit needs to stay a 1000 miles away from Excel.

      Excel is already a global nightmare, with so many jank should be databases run on it, with AI on top…oh boy.

        All good. It’s just something I see a lot of people say without sarcasm or irony a lot, and I think it’s a dangerous assumption to have about these algorithms. The personification of them has been the biggest boon to the over-hyped adoption and investment they received these past years, so I generally make a point to clarify when I see it, if only to better inform those who might not realize.
