AI or not, I feel like everybody has had “the incident” at some point. After that, you obsessively keep backups.

Yup!

Also totally unrelated helpful tip- triple check your inputs and outputs when using dd to clone a drive. dd works great to clone an old drive onto a new blank one. It is equally efficient at cloning a blank drive full of nothing but 0s over an old drive that has some 1s mixed in.

And that’s a great example where a GUI could be way better at showing you what’s what and preventing such errors.

If you’re automating stuff, sure, scripting is the way to go, but for one-off stuff like this seeing more than text and maybe throwing in a confirmation dialogue can’t hurt - and the tool might still be using dd underneath.
