No. I also wouldn’t use a hammer to cut a board in half - I’d grab a saw. Knowing how to pick the right tool is a fundamental part of being a good engineer. Sometimes 70% is unacceptable, sometimes it’s exceptional. LLMs are incredible tech

90% of the time, Sheets's recommended graph is exactly what I wanted, and is in general a much cleaner and enjoyable experience than Excel. Pivot tables too are much more obvious and usable to non-power users in Sheets than Excel
