Needs to be a mod, lol.

I will forever continue to suggest that as a developer, you learn your IDE of choice's features for templates/code snippets, or make yourself a "templates" file to copy and paste from.
Far more control, far less opportunity to miss something small and mess up, cheaper, less resource use, and faster.
Using VsCode/VsCodium's snippets feature has been a serious game changer for me when it comes to boilerplate.
So, to be clear, your use cases are "copilot's assistance with programming in an obscure language for fun" and "cheating on college classwork".
I mean correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like getting an ISO on a flash drive is pretty basic computer skills, something that even if you've never heard of before would be easy to do as long as you aren't too computer illiterate.
That last bit is doing a ton of lifting here.
Having worked for a company's internal tech support, I highly doubt that even half of the employees I supported would be capable of that, and that's only because that half were good enough with computers that they never had to call in for help, so I don't know their skill level.
Knowing what an ISO even is already puts you above the average user by a significant margin.
I laughed when I saw the note in the changelog recently. It was something like "removed added collision on an underwater pipe speedrunners enjoyed"
While you aren't wrong that every automated system needs human oversight and occasional intervention, when the average person hears "fully automated" or any of the many marketing terms used for these things lately they are going to take it pretty close to face value.
It also doesn't help that it was largely marketed and reported on as if it wasn't an experiment, but a solved and working "product".
Every system will have its own requirements and acceptable margins for error and required interventions, but I think most people would feel that even the one in twenty (5%) goal is a lot for a project like the Amazon automated shops. It would be a lot for any of the automations I come into contact with (and have built) at my job, but admittedly I'm not doing anything as remotely novel or as complicated as an unattended shop.
Beyond that, people have a lot more reasons to dislike these systems than just the amount of human intervention and I think they're just going to jump on whichever one is currently being discussed in order to express it. Like displeasure that the teleoperation positions are outsourced the way they are, taking even more jobs away from the local population.
YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T HELP A BROTHER CRANK THEIR HOG ON WANKSGIVING? YOU STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN SON, BUT YOU'LL GET THERE! AWOOOOOOOO!
If only I could get my spouse to understand this better. Eating times seem to be her go to when time is tight and we need to shift things around. That really doesn't work for me.
With the way it can effect me I've been concerned I might be diabetic, but my blood work consistently shows that I'm not and not close to at risk of developing it.
It doesn't help that I've had numerous experiences over time with people saying they'd be fine to skip a meal or eat later who definitively weren't. As a response I tend to worry about that more than I probably should.
Thankfully it only comes up regularly during road trips, and we've agreed that it only takes one of us to want to stop for us to stop (and go get food, bathroom, etc).
It's one of the things I really enjoyed about the early episodes of The Expanse. Lots of attention paid to the hard science of space travel, especially compared to most sci-fi.
Inertia matters. Debris speeding at you from a nearby fight is just as dangerous as someone meaning to attack.
Stuck in a brig when an enemy ship railguns a softball sized hole through the ship you're on? Slap the emergency manual three ring binder up against the hole to make a temporary seal.
It goes off further into less science backed stuff as time goes on, but I really appreciated the "hard science" base it built off of.
Something I haven't seen talked about too much is that there is a hidden meta-puzzle involving a hidden 51st game, and one of the fictional in-universe devs trying to catalog what happened to/at the company.
It's not relevant to enjoying the game as a whole, but it's interesting how deeply some of it is hidden. The official discord has folks running it all down, and FuryForged on youtube has made a 48 minute video walking through everything that's been discovered so far.
Nothing huge, but some wonderful examples of people trying to rules lawyer fucking dictionary definitions of plagiarism in this HackerNews thread about the parents that sued the school because their kid got in trouble for copy pasting from an LLM.
Thankfully the case was ruled in the school's favor. Just got a laugh out of some of the comments that are just unintentional satire of stereotypical HN comments.
Somewhere a mod maker just got ideas.
