Comment on Excel's AI: 20% of the time, it works every time

It’s about time all those math types learned to relax a bit. These numbers in these spreadsheets don’t need to be exact all the time. It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is. Error bars are there for a reason people!

Sounds like what accountants do already

Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.
Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.
Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.

It’s all about whether your accounts give a vibe of truthiness. Auditors need to chill.

Microsoft literally calls the feature “vibe working.” Youre not far off the actual name.
They aren’t even pretending to care anymore.

Sounds like a good way to AI-wash any accounting fraud. Now you can just blame it on Microsoft.
