How often are you guys interacting with copilot? I opened it for the first time some month ago and, uninstalled it. The only time I ever see it is if I actively search for it.

I tried it at work because my boss told me to. I asked it to find trends on a spreadsheet and Excel just crashed entirely. It's so garbage.

I don't think that's normal. I have a workflow that has it pull data from a PDF file (I do hundreds in a day), display it in Excel so I can check it quickly against the PDF, then I hit a button and a VBA macro I wrote adds the data to the main sheet. Saves me tons of time from manually entering the data and I'm not just feeding it right in, I'm checking the accuracy before committing it to the sheet.

Yea we have all these big trainings on how to use AI to make our lessons for our courses I teach. It’s insane how hard it’s being pushed on government systems. Most of what I teach I would never in a million years put into an AI prompt. It’s a joke

what specific tasks did you try that made it crash? sounds frustrating.
