Seems like you could either use this directly or extend the idea to having your real terminal as well as your simulated terminal (keeping in mind with the ChatGPT version you can ask it to add functionality like docker, nix, Kubernetes, python, go, etc) and then pipe things between them.
Even without taking it wherever that goes this still seems pretty handy.
Edit: Thinking more about this, a cool ui would be either "containers", "VMs", or some other fake abstraction you could spin up and ssh / rsync into. Imagining simulated VMs. Would be pretty useful to be able to shell out to that at will to play around with. Perhaps with the ability to prompt OS and installed programs.

- eightysixfour 4y agoMy favorite demo with ChatGPT is not to ask it to emulate a terminal, but tell it is connected to an Ubuntu 20.04 system by SSH and then ask it to do thing like setup a web server with a blog, secure the server, etc.
- belter 4y agoDoes ChatGPT then spends all day on HN arguing it has to wait for the program to finish compiling?
