See the top comment. This is from 5 years ago not actually copilot.

When I was taking my introductory courses in computer science over 20 years ago, they told me to not use Excel if you can avoid it, because it's not very, you know, precise. So I'm well aware that this is an ancient joke. Excel will fuck your data up - AI is just another way to do it.

But it is a potential scifi plot point.

However, I will concede that it's probably not a scifi plot point for too long. Worse things have already happened.

What is one meant to use?

For data gathering? Pretty much anything that doesn't fiddle with the values. Usually, bespoke apps or applications specifically designed for survey data. People actually use spreadsheet programs a lot, but those who do spend a lot of time on ensuring data gets entered correctly.

Any suggestions that are easy to use for casuals?
