Sure. But then you would have AI

Not for a while at least. Generative AI is notoriously bad at math. They’d maybe help with writing formulas for excel, from natural language input. It’d effectively be front end/input for excel or tabular data source. The non-gen variants would be better suited for modeling and prediction of data in the workbook. Neither would really replace excel, but supplement it.

AI is a concept. Excel is a software / tool.
It’s a bit like asking if philosophy is going to replace bicycles.

AI is a concept? What? I don’t think you understand AI at all. AI is the ultimate tool!

Heck. AI probably runs on Excel, just like every other software

I went to an AI event this past week and one of the speakers said excel is going to come back. It's a robust tool that is free pretty much that can be automated but no one uses it to its potential. Since it's basic and not extra tool there's less security issues with using it

A better question might be “is AI going to replace me?”
