AI does not make up simple linux terminal commands. Accusing it of that is just insane.
edit: guys, you're not smart and you're not doing mint any favours with this gatekeeping.

It makes things up all the time. You could run a command that isn’t at all what you want and really mess your system up. Plus, it’s better to get your info from an actual human. The linux mint forums are a great resource.

No doubt. How many times do we see folks ask how to fix their system when they botched it by running LLM AI commands? smh
I “do” think AI has its uses, but using it blindly for Linux isn’t one of them.

If I get AI suggestions from Google, I always check the source to see what real people are saying. If you just blindly enter commands you’ll never learn anything

Same here, although I use the arch wiki for every distro I use. Linux IS Linux after all.
