As the great Linus Torvald said:

It's why I strongly want this to be that "just a tool".

The problem I’ve seen is the lack of knowledge retention when AI feeds you stuff, buddy wouldn’t even bother to read nor memorize what it’s telling him and just copy-paste commands thinking it’ll fix whatever obscure issue he is encountering.

I’ve been using Debian for the last ~3ish years now relying on documentation from others so I’ve seen how fragile it can get.
