Legitimately surprised it was the "Crush" ad and not the AI-powered replacements for musicians as the thing that fed the discourse.

Me, I'm still shaking my head about the guy gleefully editing Numbers spreadsheets on BART.

@jsnell Maybe he really enjoys making spreadsheets about trains, while on a train.

As for music and AI, I winced at that. But I imagine as many people will be excited about those features as repulsed.

I wouldn’t put it past most Gunzels to make spreadsheets like that.

Probably the most realistic aspect of the video.

@Salvo @craiggrannell I think the guy was just commuting, but I learned a new word!

@jsnell @Salvo I assume if he was actually working, they missed out the bit where he stared lovingly at his creation and then shed a single tear when he was forced, like he is every day, to export his work as an Excel doc.

@craiggrannell Every one of my personal spreadsheets is in Numbers. Every one of my work spreadsheets is in Excel.

Excel makes me sad. @jsnell @Salvo

@DJDarren @jsnell @Salvo I mostly have to use Sheets, which is even worse. Bleh.
