- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

No kidding. If I have to tell the stupid model what I'm talking about explicitly with a cell range, I might as well write the function myself. And if I'm an excel novice who doesn't know SUM(), then I should go learn about it to solve my problem instead of offloading to a model whose result I can't verify.
LLMs are not a replacement for knowledge and skill. It's a tool that might, might be able to accelerate things you already could do.
That said... can copilot do conditional formatting? "Highlight in red all rows where cell 5 is No" would actually be useful. Conditional formatting rules are madness.
I just really looked at the image. =COPILOT() is absolutely insane... Does that make a call to microsoft from this sheet every time it's opened? when the related cells change? when anything changes? If your document is 'financial forecast fy 2026', have you just given the whole doc as context to another company? sure, sure, sure, they said they wouldn't look at your stuff, but prove it.
