i hope you realize that there is no intelligence at work, and all that this is, is just advanced interpolation of whatever is in the model

it doesn't actually understand what you are asking it.

Even if it's a glorified autocomplete, it suits this use case perfectly. It's far better than trying to read poorly written man pages directly. It can digest documentation and parse it into natural language.

Most of these pipes / scripts are for one off jobs here and there, and there's no reason to memorize every random parameter across a bunch of them. ChatGpt is like a smart reference that's also really good at understanding English. It should probably just be built into the terminal at this point (but with a dry run for any commands).
