FWIW ChatGPT is pretty good in generating the specific Bash incantations you need to perform if you describe what you want to do in plain English and don't forget to add the specific version of the OS you're using. Unless what you're trying to do is pretty advanced and would be cumbersome in any other OS as well.

Learning specific API's are over. Mostly.

Yeah I used chatgpt to write the string for a cronjob yesterday, and then an awk script to parse the output.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted.

I think you’re currently right and will be even more right in a year or two.
