The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can't access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in "high-stakes scenarios" with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT "can give incorrect responses."

I'm a bit confused by your post. Who is actually making the claims you're refuting? I don't see anyone saying anything about the invention of spreadsheets at all

Separately, I always just assumed that "Excel" was a pun on the fact that it handles cells

Excel is an excellent name for the software and I have no idea why they dedicated so much of their rant to it. If you want to talk about high on your own supply, look at Apple's....well, anything, but iwork in particularly.
