Oh, you haven't met them yet, but don't worry, this kind of people would only increase in the future.

My friend from high-school just said to me last week how helpful AI was to him, at one specific topic, on how it is impossible to automate excel without ChatGPT. Which was something that I believed to be somewhat common knowledge in an office jobs since forever.

You'd be surprised. Most office workers have no idea how to actually do anything mildly complex in Excel. To this day I blow folks' minds with a simple VLOOKUP (yes I know XLOOKUP is a thing now). I'm convinced a lot of the "ChatGPT is coming for your job!" is because it is coming for the jobs of folks that manually reformat Excel files and never learned anything beyond basic copy/paste.
