    So you can’t have a foolproof spreadsheet that just has an option for “refund given” with a date range? Why go through all this AI nonsense? All it’s doing is adding points of failure and giving people the ability to fuck up their prompts.

      A spreadsheet? No, sales go through the database. That was also just an example. You could ask it to see which state has the most sales of product X between dates Y and Z for customers between age 18 and 25, as another example. You can ask it anything you can think of to do with the data.

      It’s basically a reporting engine that can create ad-hoc reports at will.

      It’s a lot easier to write a prompt for a report than it is to query the database, especially when you don’t know SQL etc - or even have access to the database.

        Product X > filter by state > date range. Why is this difficult? Gimme another, it’s mildly entertaining even if it’s not exactly difficult.
