AI is a force multiplier for experienced people.

The ones who know what they want to do, how it should be done, but can't really be arsed to read the man pages or API docs of all the tools required.

These people can craft a prompt (prompt engineering :P) for the LLM that gets good results pretty much directly.

LLMs are garbage in garbage out. Sometimes the statistical average is enough, sometimes you need to give it more details to use the available tools correctly.

Like the fact that `fd` has the `-exec` and `--exec-batch` parameters, there's no need to use xargs or pipes with it.
