Y'all, because there is no escaping the dada reality we all apparently inhabit, #Microsoft has added #LLM to #Excel, except it hallucinates and can make stuff up, so they say you shouldn't use it in cases where you need your spreadsheet to be, ya know...accurate.
Or as they put it: “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT “can give incorrect responses.”
In the name of Ada Lovelace, I curse this idiocy to return the techbro's cranium from which this sprang with the force of Clippy asking to help.
