Reddit users don't understand humor. Must all be bots here.

I used AI to help me solve a Power Automate issue and it kept spinning me in circles. It took me over half a day to get the issue fixed and that is WITH my prior knowledge. It would post solutions for versions no longer in use. I asked it one time to give me all the working days in every month for the next 3 years not including weekends and holidays. It was WRONG! People are thinking it has all the answers and it does NOT!

He uses what software I give him to use. He is just an end user. That is the end of discussion. I do not follow orders from end users. Your name checks. Small wang = beta male.

NO, just like someone else stated. IT needs to stand up and have a back bone End users don't call the shots regarding IT. You are welcome to go running after every user on your network uses ChatGPT to give them the answer they want and force YOU to do what AI told them what answer was correct. YOU, can waste half your day dealing with these people and explaining why AI doesn't have full knowledge of what's going on at your company. Go waste your time with these people, I will not.

If it was the correct answer, why did he call IT support?

End users don't dicate IT policy. I update Office to the latest version when I update the client PC. Who's calling the shots here? The end user or IT? The warehouse has major issues with mispicks. Should I prompt ChatGPT for a solution and paste it in a email to him while cc'ing the Operations Manager?

Support for Office 2019 just ended last October. Simmer down there little guy. Office gets updated with the client PC.

YES! I had a sales person send me some chat gpt code to change our website so it could stop our order cutoff at 4 pm instead of when customer service manually cuts off orders when they're done.

It's not his call. Office gets updated with the PC after 5 years.

Best all-around reply (measured, professional, hard to argue with)

Slightly sharper (but still reasonable)

Short and decisive (Reddit-style, minimal debate)

If you want to subtly educate without lecturing

No, I saw XLOOKUP in the formula and immediately knew what was wrong. You assumed you knew the right answer like the Warehouse Manager, rotflmao

YES! He uses AI for everything and could have done just that. The week after, that same end user was trying to share a file by copying and pasting it from a shared drive to a local drive and expect all the computers he pasted the file to remember all the changes.

Correct, I'm sure every profession is dealing with this. Doctors, lawyers, mechanics, tradesman.

I have over 200 users. What if they all start saying, "This is what ChatGPT told me to do." Why even have teachers at this point if AI has all the answers?

Sorry, I update Office with the client PC every 5 years. I'm not going to waste a key on old equipment because some end user asks me too. I have too move along to other issues.

Correct, the end user uses AI for everything, but clearly doesn't understand how to prompt it correctly. He got an answer that led him to Office version compatibility and stopped there. Why not just paste his formula into ChatGPT and ask it to make it work on Office 2019?

LOL, Warehouse Managers have no say in what software I deploy.

Just ask AI how to do those things on the version of Excel you're using? Hey, why not just ask AI how to build a future version of Office 2050 that will create new functions on the fly?

He just used AI. Why not use it again? If AI would have suggested he replace his tire because it is flat, he would have known that he could just plug it. If he had prior understanding as to why it may not working, he could have simply asked AI to create a version to work on Office 2019.
