… so you could type anything at the terminal and the artificial intelligence would provide documentation + suggestions for corresponding commands. Of course, the a.i. should never be able to run any commands by itself.

    If recent “advancements” in products have taught us anything, it’s that adding AI to things that don’t need it always makes it better! Right, guys? …Right??

    Oh you sweet summer child, that’s like handing a toddler a gun and telling them not to shoot anyone.

    Eew, no. Multiple issues with this.

    1. Performance. When I’m booting my computer I want it to turn on ASAP. I don’t want it wasting time loading such a heavy system like a “language” model.
    2. Security. Yes, someone will make it run commands. And even if it doesn’t, simply suggesting what you should type is already bad.
    3. Discouraging people from reading the manpages, and understanding what the command does, before typing it out. Unless your LLM gives you a comprehensive explanation of the command, but then you’re just reinventing the manpages.

      Now about the performance issue : please see my other comment in here where i suggest how it could be … using 2 computers+ USB link.

        I’ve seen it. Using a second machine to perform actions is inefficient IMO; plus as someone else said, this already exists - you could simply ask some chatbot the question through your second machine, like writing !ai how does the Linux command "ls" work? in DDG.

    The nice thing about Open Source is that the very moment some distro decides to stuff A.I. into itself, that shit will immediately be forked so that we don’t have to deal with it.

    I’m happy to visit a website where I can ask an AI to grammar check my code or something similar. But There is no way in Hell I’m allowing one to live on my system accessing all my things.
