When you use spread sheets a lot, much of what makes you productive is that you know exactly what Excel will do. Like yes I know it's going to try to increment when actually I want to fill this column with 1s or whatever, but I can hold ctrl and override it and all is good.

With copilot, you will never be sure what it's going to do. I feel like it would slow me down even if it guessed right 90% of the time.

That's not just limited to excel. The basic value of computers is how deterministic they are. AI is just probability programs that are reintroduce chaos into the system.

Yeah. Using it to help write functions is one thing. Using it to actually calculate.... Lmao
