  While I never had it happen, it could give you wrong command line switches that do damage. For example, when I asked how I could list volumes attached to an AWS instance, it gave me a “modify-volume” command instead of “describe-volume” command. Thankfully, I caught that before I cut and paste it.

    Oh yes. With that sort of thing better double check each time.

  It’s bad enough at programming that you can often see the problems without the help of the compiler

  Last thing I asked it for, after the fourth draft still had undeclared variables and called imaginary libraries (which if they existed would be great)

  It was good for coming up with a nice structure for a small program
