Hi, I see you’ve made a typo. Want me to double down on that?

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Helps if you spell February correctly.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 58 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I tested this myself, it auto-fills after the first character already, so the typo is on Excel

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 weeks ago

OMG :'D i was almost sure this was fake

Nice fantasy name generator you got there.

Novil the scholar approves while Junch the barbarian is wondering what those silly squiggles are.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Jane the cleric tries to decipher the ancient runes with divine insight, while Mary the rogue looks for hidden traps.

Hold on, these are just regular ass names

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Mayy is good but Junch hits just right. Jaunch might be the best.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Are you single? I've got eligible male and female friends of all sexual persuasions that I'd love to introduce you to.

I'd offer up myself but I'm already happily taken.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Sir this is not a good place to advertise your brothel

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Mayy has so much sass

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My favourite gotta be the Janch-Decch column

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Needs to become official IMO. I want a year that starts with Janch. It’s packing so much sauce idk why.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Rolled 2d12 for column then row, came up with Sepe

Sorry, "febober" in the list triggered my terminally online brain rot.

Top level comment for those who think it's a typo. Notice how it auto-fills after the first character.

Also, this hardly has to do with AI, this is just Excel being Excel. But hey, memes are supposed to be funny, not accurate.

[–] pianoplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's actually because January is also misspelled. Or possibly because Excel's language/region isn't set up right (I see your month abbreviations aren't us-eng... If excel is in us-eng it likely isn't going to identify them properly.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Correct, but my locale is Dutch so it's spelled correctly. Changing the language doesn't matter for this exercise

[–] pianoplant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ironically AI would probably work ok here whereas excel is using a human-designed pattern matching heuristic that apparently either has a bug or didn't take into account your locale properly. I say that as someone with a relatively negative opinion of ai

This is a task ai would do well at whereas most of the Excel workflow it would not.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The language used doesn't matter and it's not a bug. I can't be arsed to set my whole office suite to English but this is what Excel does, no matter what language you're using. So if I used English month abbreviations, the same thing would still happen.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Have you tried using a US English locale? Most AI models are trained mostly in English, so not sure if your locale being Dutch is affecting that.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The one time excell doesn't assume the cell is a date.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Febuary isn't a month either. The machine is copying OPs already incorrect pattern. GIGO.

Can confirm, excel is stupid as hell. Need to be a programmer almost to get it to do basic things

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, Excel's formulas are just scripting, so you are programming if you do any formulas.

Excel is pretty powerful if you have some data to manipulate or some math to math, but also it's generally the worst tool for the job, but it's at least a tool you can almost always assume will be available

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It literally does what you told it to. It also has nothing to do with AI.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

My favorite is Apruary. Kind of like National ape month.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, you typed the U...

[–] Hackworth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Gippity suggests the only word that starts with "febu" is febuxostat.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Februwuary.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

LLMs replacing good tools with ones that don't work as well.

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 4 points 2 weeks ago

Microsoft Excel

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It gets better when you read them in the UWU voice

[–] ccmskw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Better ditch this crap and use AWK for manipulating tables. It has all the intelligence you'll need.
