Has Copilot kinda killed this sub?

Our take

In a world increasingly dominated by AI solutions like Copilot, many seasoned Excel users are grappling with the impact on traditional community resources. As a supply chain analyst with years of experience, I’ve relied on peer knowledge and online forums for mastering Excel. However, with my department’s push towards Copilot usage, I’ve noticed a shift in my reliance on this sub for Excel questions. Has the convenience of AI rendered these valuable communities obsolete?

I’m a semi versed excel user being a supply chain analyst. It comes with the territory. Years and years of learning new features or new formulas or techniques from peers, on my own, or online. I’m also 45 so outside the “new” crowd that I felt apart of until the past 5-6 years.

Over the past year my company has really ramped up/encouraged the use of Copilot. My entire department has the premium subscription. I am not a huge fan of AI and have perceived it with a fair amount of hesitancy. I certainly don’t ask Copilot which emails are the most important. I’ll decide that.

I mostly use Copilot for help with Excel documents and putting together Excel reports.

It occurred to me today, I seldom refer to this sub for Excel questions anymore. It’s almost as if an old tool was quickly forgotten by a new toy. Is this the case for others?
