My personal experience using ChatGPT for commands I am not familiar with didn't end well. Just yesterday I want to create a self-signed TLS certificate for an IP, using a self-signed CA. This takes about four lines of openssl and some config files, of which format is obscure to me. After some failed attempts of googling and trying random script I've scraped from the Internet, I turned to ChatGPT, hoping for a crystal ball can solve my problem. After some rounds it did not produce a working script. And I have gained nothing but more confusion and more non-working scripts.
Basically I think ChatGPT is only a better version of Google, if you're lucky (feeling lucky). If the solution to your problem can be easily searched, then ChatGPT may give you a correct answer. But for less seen tasks it may not perform well. However, if the task itself is easy, I don't bother to ask ChatGPT. It may take rounds to catch your questions, and the generation is slow. So it feels very inefficient to use such a tool at this moment. Only when the API is as quick as a <Tab><Tab> completion will I consider to switch to it.
WAIT, there's no confirmation before executing a ChatGPT response? That's really crazy.
