Vibe working is all about Office’s new Agent Mode.

    Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

    It generates 42.8% bullshit.

      They probably view that as a statistic worth bragging about. It’s not. If Excel got calculations right 57.2% of the time it would be completely worthless.

        I asked copilot to look through my every spreadsheet and find how many instances of a category occurred. I was curious to see if it was any good. Gave me 2 different numbers. Neither were correct.

        Decades ago. The company that replaced it’s CEO with a LLM thrives.

      Just keep regenerating data until it’s something the stock holders like. Doesn’t matter if it’s BS. They’re already accustomed to that.

        Slightly better than Vegas. Unfortunately, plenty of people are okay with Vegas odds.

      Not enough accuracy to be useful. Not enough bullshit for politics.
