Comment on Finally escaping Windows, ironically thanks to AI

I have used AI a little for Linux adaptation but I do want to caution overuse since it’ll sometimes give you really bad advice, like regarding important dependencies and such. Sometimes it cites info for a wrong distro or outdated info, so it’s not so much made up BS, just bad search results essentially.
The problem tends to be it defaults to the old fashion way of doing thing. Since most training data is that old fashion approach
If you just remember to prompt it to keep things simple or ask it for the easier way after the first step it reduces that problem to effectively zero.
It’s no different then asking some greybeard how to do something then bitching that it’s too complicated.
They always default to “their way”
