"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I man, I guess I could see it as a sort of training wheels to get going, if one comes in to this cold... There are certain commands that just have very complicated arguments, and particularly if only very occasionally needed, an LLM I could see as helping folks get whatever specific bit they want out of a very verbose usage output or man page.
But it so famously messes up that they have to go lookup any suggestions to understand what it will do better than it would.
If one has no interest in actually learning the command line as a long teem goal though... Just don't bother. Their usage scenario is almost certainly within the scope of the gui experience. They might be slower on some tasks and unable to scale out their skills to mass operations or create convenient automation, but not everyone has that need.
After evaluation of local models, Claude, gemini 3, chatgpt... It's certainly interesting but it really messes up a lot and if it has access even in their to anything "real", it's supremely dangerous to use if you are not qualified to review the results.
