Today I asked AI to remove all the lines in a file that had some string in them.

It worked. I felt awful thinking how much power I wasted doing that when I could have just read the man page of sed or awk.

I did, and it was ridiculously easy to do what I needed with a fraction of the power. And I got some nice knowledge to go with it, that I proceeded to add to my aliases file.

I’m not afraid of AI. I have a local instance to play with. The technology is just too wasteful and fallible as it stands today.
