Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!” (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It’s a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)

    It’s great for logs and learning the basics, sure, but I find it quickly ends up off the rails.

    If a door came off its hinge, ChatGPT will eventually have you build an entire house around it; a house that breaks every building code imaginable, no less.

    It’s best you do the steering by double checking it’s claims—usually this points you to a Reddit post where it clearly got the info from—and searching through Wikis and boards yourself. In those cases Linux users may sound like they’re speaking another language, and then ChatGPT can help break their solution down for you and implement it.

    If people were to use LLMs for things they’re already experts in, they would realise how frequently and drastically wrong LLMs are. It’s honestly scary knowing it’s out there wreaking havoc on important things and people using them don’t realise.
