ChatGPT is making me better because I’ve learned not to fucking trust it and double check everything it spits out to ensure its actually doing what’s asked of it.

I actually had ‘was’ first then edited after Googling. It appears it is still a thing but can’t really tell for what.

I always forget Metaverse is a thing.

I spent 45 mins with ChatGPT trying to give me the quick resolve for something querying with M.

It ended with me telling ChatGPT that if it worked for me, it would be fired because it kept trying to reoptimise my query, resulting in syntax and load errors, then “fixing” them by ignoring my query’s criteria.

I ended up going old school and taking an extra 30 mins to just figure it out myself. Now that I know how it’s done, it’s surprisingly easy to understand.

So I took that as a compliment; or ChatGPT just sucks at PowerQuery.

It probably learned, though. If anyone has transform queries around multi-level filtering criteria and ChatGPT helps, that’s because of my suffering.

Hey, that’s me! I query my workforce data from the HRIS with M and SQL. In HR land, that makes me a super senior data scientist compared to VLOOKUP guy who hasn’t even heard of XLOOKUP or even INDEX/MATCH, that asshole.
