      I found it quite reliable tbh. Whenever I didn’t understand or was worried by the LLMs suggested course of action, I’d ask it to explaine why things should be done. I borked my system many times as a Linux newbie. It was always my fault, never the LLMs

      To be fair it is the same for random commands in some forums. It’s like tradition at this point. LLM just remove the societal fear of being shamed for asking a stupid question.

          When I was a child I’d go on Yahoo Answers and give bad advice and then vote myself as having the best answer. I was a ‘top answerer’ for several niche subjects I know nothing about.

      I wouldn’t even have anything to destroy if it wasn’t for an LLM. I’d still be using Windows.
