I write a lot of bash and I still have to check syntax every day, but the answer to that is not chatGPT but a proper linter like shell check that you can trust because it's based on a rigid set of rules, not the black box of a LLM.

I can understand the syntax justification for obscure languages that don't have a well written linter, but if anything that gives me less confidence about CHATGPT because it's training material for an obscure language is likely smaller.
