We have the stupidest #Microsoft ad campaign on UK tv I can remember, portraying #Copilot for #Excel.

I'm wondering who it is aimed at. #SMEs?

The best thing anyone can do right now is ensure they maintain and build their skills rather than let them wither by relying on #LLMs which regularly make errors that you will not. More and faster is not better when it is unreliable.

Your skills will be in high demand once the hype dies away as systems built on this snake oil crumble.
