I’m in college and for one of my classes we actually have a prompt we feed to ChatGPT so that ChatGPT creates an excel spreadsheet for us as a step in an assignment process. The whole spreadsheet.
The class is for healthcare and I won’t get more specific, but yes, you can use AI today to make whole ass Excel spreadsheets.
(One of the steps in that particular assignment involves fact-checking the spreadsheet, btw, but about 95% of the time all the answers are word-for-word in the book, 4% they’re taken from the web and have more up-to-date info than the book has, and 1% is blatant lies.)
Why do you think “making” a “whole spreadsheet” is even impressive?
People fearmonger about those of us who are unimpressed with AI will be “left behind”, but its the pro AI prople who seem unable to comprehend how to do the most basic tasks.
Ya’ll the ones letting yourselves fall behind by not bothering to learn how to do the even the basics.
Yeah, so far when someone shows me a concrete example of this amazingly complicated thing that GenAI helped then realize, I think “really… that’s it?”
It’s a decent reminder that a lot of people have more modest needs and a lot of the enthusiasm can come from that, and maybe that’s more understandable.

It’s a decent reminder that the kids are not alright.
