Why, given the power and flexibility of ChatGPT, would anyone in their right mind ask it to write a shell script instead of a Python script?

Whose time and effort do they think they're saving by bringing more shell scripts into existence, anyway?

Shell scripts are objectively and vastly worse than equivalent Python scripts along all dimensions.

It's like having a food replicator from Star Trek: TNG, and asking it to make you rancid dog food instead of lobster.

I threw most of these scripts away after using them once, plus it was under a minute to get them working, so maybe I'll try a python script next time.
