so you're saying people who don't know what they're doing shouldn't use tools they don't understand to do things that could cause huge problems if they go wrong? How dare you admonish the Dunning-Kruger field generator!

I'm saying OP's image is an incomplete picture of the problem which blames Copilot for user error.

ByYourLogic, people shouldn't be using Excel to begin with.

In this case, mayhap copilot made the user error. Who knows, probably not the user using copilot to sum numbers in excel.

It's a meme that hinges on the viewer not knowing Excel, not an actual user error in a business environment.
