To be fair for most of the shell scripts I write it would be more work to put it into an LLM and then verify what it output is correct than just retyping it in python. I tend towards python these days if I need more than 1 variable since at that point I'm probably in the weeds already. If it's just a ton of commands in succession though, I leave it bash. I have a few scripts in bash and PowerShell for weird ffmpeg operations I generally don't want to remember, stuff like loudness normalisation and converting to specific formats with specific parameters using ffmpeg.
