I am a paying user of ChatGPT because it is invaluable for my job and personal projects in tech. I would NEVER take the output as truth without vetting the information first. If you have a problem and you aren't familiar with the commands, you can get ChatGPT to give you those commands after describing the problem and environment but you ALWAYS research the commands to make sure that they are doing what the AI describes. The last thing you want to have to explain to an angry client is the reason why their system was nuked is because you got the commands directly from a glorified search engine.

Asking ChatGPT for the commands that do something and then going to a search engine to make sure the supplied commands actually do the right thing sounds a bit like washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher to be honest.

You gotta do what you gotta do when you have a shitty dishwasher.
