I used to live in Excel too. I've trudged through plenty of awful worksheets. The output I've seen from AI is actually more neatly organized than most of what I used to receive in outlook. Most of that wasn't hyper-sophisticated cap table analyses. It was analysis from a Jr Analyst or line employee trying to combine a few different data sources to get some signal on how XYZ function of the business was performing. AI automation is perfectly suitable for this.
- intended 1y agoHow? Neat formatting didn't save any model from having the wrong formula pasted in. Being neat was never a substitute for being well rested, or sufficiently caffeinated. Have you seen how AI functions in the hands of someone who isn't a domain expert? I've used it for things I had no idea about, like Astro+ web dev. User ignorance was magnified spectacularly. This is going to have Jr Analysts dumping well formatted junk in email boxes within a month.
