I also find that validating data can be much faster than calculating data. It's like when you're in algebra class and you're told to "solve for X". Once you find the value for X you plug it into the equation to see if it fits, and it's 10x faster than solving for X originally.

Regardless of if AI generates the spreadsheet or if I generate the spreadsheet, I'm still going to do the same validation steps before I share it with anyone. I might have a 2% error rate on a first draft.
