[Shower Thought] I was never "good" at Linux CLI, ChatGPT has helped tremendously
I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago.
But I always encountered problems that frustrated me forcing me to eventually abandon the OS in favor of something new. For example, installing programs or drivers that weren't in the software manager GUI, checking USB and device connections, etc.
I was a windows guy and I hate to admit it. It was just "easier" so I usually took the path of least resistance to getting things working efficiently for my productivity needs.
But ChatGPT has really unlocked things for my novice self.
Everything from simple questions to fun ones. Like I had an SD card showing as empty, but I thought it had been formatted, so I asked ChatGPT how to recover lost data on the card, and it walked me through every step - I recovered a ton of data off that card.
I just installed Linux Mint on an older Lenovo laptop and it's awesome to have a fast portable laptop again.
I'm excited to dual-boot my older HP Envy AIO computer in the near future, windows 10 has become too buggy for my tastes lately.
Great! This is a great use of these AI tools, it makes things so much easier if you have a base understanding of the task at hand. glhf with your project!
You know what I think would be really funny?
Replace bash with a new cli called Gpt-cli, allow gpt to run bash commands then ask it nicely to do things with your computer for you
Bonus points for giving it a personality that makes it sabotage you or argue with you and refuse to so things for you
I would definitely need the final say in any commands it decides to run on my system. But, this sounds like a fun game to play in a pretend shell that won't nuke my drive if it gets pissy, lol
Where's the fun in that though?
The idea was more that you run it in a VM as a game, see how long you can use it for before wanting to throw it out a window

I'm not at home to check but I could've swore I had something like this installed.
maybe you were thinking of this?
That's a nice one but I was actually thinking of ShellGPT: https://linux.how2shout.com/shellgpt-install-and-use-chatgpt-in-ubuntu-linux-terminal/#8_Use_ChatGPT_in_Ubuntu_Linux_Terminal
By now there's likely a dozen tools like this.
