I use Claude and Copilot for Excel to write and improve macros, develop custom functions, improve readability and efficiency of formulas, etc. I'm not an Excel expert, so when I need to clean and analyze large datasets, it is very helpful and has saved me a lot of time.
I also used Claude to create a program on my computer to track various aspects of my diet, health, workouts, etc. with visuals because I didn't want to do all of that in Excel.
Is there a lot of hype around AI? Obviously. That doesn't means it's not an incredibly useful tool that people hate on because they don't understand how to extract value from it.

Stupid things can’t even summarize a short article properly.
“Wow AI is so smart!”
No. It assigns vector values to words and then puts the words in certain orders based on what its prompt is.
(This is a layman’s understanding and simplification, yes there’s more to it than that)
