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."

One of the absolute best uses for LLMs is to generate quick summaries for massive data. It is pretty much the only use case where, if the model doesn't overflow and become incoherent immediately [1], it is extremely useful.

But nooooo, this is luddite.ml saying anything good about AI gets you burnt at the stake

Some of y'all would've lit the fire under Jan Hus if you lived in the 15th century

[1] This is more of a concern for local models with smaller parameter counts and running quantized. For premier models it's not really much of a concern.
