It’s weird that AI can’t do things that computers are so good at.
Because it’s not doing math. It’s looking for something that’s commonly said when those characters are used.
Probably trained on JavaScript or some other weakly typed language with side effects and poor code. Or some meme from reddit:
3+2=5
“1”+5=15
I mean make sense, 1+2=3; 3+3=6; and you count the taxes +9 there you go, you got 15
No it’s 1+(2+3)=1+5=15
Why would you use a LLM there? It’s especially bad with numbers, and SUM is still a thing.
What it can do is things with language or text comprehension, which is next to impossible without AI. Still error prone but it can be a real time saver.
If you try to use a hammer to saw a plank, you are going to have a bad time.
Math — the thing AI is famously good at.
There are 15 non-whitespace characters in “the numbers above”.
Please no. I work with Excel a lot. Please. I have children.
Are they having copilot directly execute the operations? I thought it was copilot generating the proper excel query to do the operation you need done and then you just had a regular spreadsheet at the end of it.
I thought copilot in excel was supposed to generate formulae, not values! That’s insane!
I wouldn’t worry. It’s not like an Excel error has ever caused human suffering at a global scale or anything, right?

Smash that 👍 button let them know they did a great job.
I was once bored, few years earlier, and I made chatgpt think derivative of 69 is always 420 and derivative of 420 is always 69. I don’t use chatgpt anymore, or any AI tool

Sorry judge, the books were cooked by AI
AI is going to delete the S&P 500
