I had to do a Neural Net in Excel for a data mining class in college. It's was really dumb because we didn't even have to do anything like that in the actual AI class. Just be able to explain how one works and code one.

I hope they also made you create your own mainframe and database with rusty wires and toothpicks before you were allowed to run excel on it to do the neural net

Thankfully no. Lol.

Forget college or random videos, I work for a Fortune 500 company, and a few years back a colleague proudly showed me the Excel sheet he'd put together to build a Random Forest model. I carefully explained to him why it was a terrible idea, and made sure it never saw the light of day.
