I am not sure if this is the correct place but pardon me, I was one trying to remove the luksEncryption key and I searched it on stackoverflow thinking that I am going to figure this out myself...

The first thing on stackoverflow permanently made the data recoverable and it was only under the comment that people mentioned this...

My whole data of projects and what not got lost because of it and that just gave me the lesson of actually reading the whole thing.

I sometimes wonder if using AI would've made any difference or would it have even mattered because I didn't want to use AI and that's why I went to stackoverflow lol... But at the same point, AI makes hallucinations too but it was a good reality check for me as well to always read the whole thing before running commands.

AI is trained on stackoverflow and much, much worse support forums. At least SO has the comments below bad advice to warn others, AI will just say "Oops, you're entirely right, I made a mistake and now your data is permanently gone".

Oh yes, I forgot to tell the aftermath,The funny thing is that I actually went to AI after making it unrecoverable and it says that don't worry it can be fixed and gave me commands which gave me hope but did nothing and it never admitted to be honest as those comments

In the end I just asked it to flash it clean so that I can atleast use my HDD which was now in the state of a limbo and it couldn't even do that.

I was just wondering about in my comment if it would have originally given me a different command or not but there are a lot more chances that it would and gaslight me than give me the right command lol

Did you mean "unrecoverable"? I first read your comment as "ok, the solution is trivially easy so the article is unnecessary", but the rest of your comment implies the opposite.

My data did get unrecoverable after running the command that was shown first when i didn't scroll or read about that command more and I just ran it and it just made it unrecoverable.

So yes it got unrecoverable.

And then I just deleted that drive by flashing nix-os in that and trying that for sometimes, so maybe there is good in every bad and I definitely learnt something to always be cautious about what commands you run

AI has told me to do things that would have made my system not bootable. You want a human in the loop for these types of things.
