    Dude just ask any advanced LLM how to do what you need to do in excel. The info is out there and they’ve digested in a million times.

    Or, don’t. And let your inabilities to do things consume you emotionally. Idgaf.

    Edit: Lemmy’s hate-boner for AI is dumbfounding. I get that it’s a hype train and shoved down your throats but if you ignore that it will get you results way faster than googling ever did you’re basically “old”. And I say this pushing 40.

    Downvote away, but I challenge anyone to give me a db and a desired subset that I can’t produce by simply querying a good LLM.

      Lol. Don’t bother asking Chat GPT for help. You will get so many completely wrong answers. At least the answers will be formatted nicely. Complete bullshit. But easily readable bullshit.

        Every time I’ve asked ChatGPT for help coding, I’ve wound up needing to rewrite it all for myself. LLMs make baffling design decisions (because they are just paraphrasing Stack Overflow, not making actual decisions).

        I have found them helpful for turning error messages into more legible explanations of what went wrong, but AI-generated code has not been effective, in my experience
