This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version
Question
So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file.
After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now.
Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

When I worked at a movie theater a coworker had broken his ankle so they had a chair in the box office for him and we would use it when he wasn’t on shift with us and then management found out and took the chair away and made him have to bring it downstairs himself every time he clocked in

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

I think about how a legitimate selling point for the Xbox consoles (and consoles in general) over the last quarter of a century is you just pick the game you want to play and hit the start button. No computer related nonsense in sight, and this has fallen so damn far from the thesis.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

Apparently when asking your teenagers to put the chicken in the oven to start cooking because you're going to be late getting home, you also need to specify that they also need to turn the oven on.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.
