My dot said the spreadsheet passed 27 checks. It broke in Google Sheets.

Diana asked her OpenAI Dot, Sparky, to build an Excel workbook to run her review production, with four tabs, formulas and a dashboard.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

A post it then wrote on marketing engineers was self-scored 9.2/10 by him.
