I’ve been using the GitHub Copilot CLI tool that is in beta for about 6 months.
The only issues have been writing the wrong find command or awk command, but it’s normally close enough that I can fix it.
LLMs are translators. Provide the full context and explanation and you get reliable results. It’s when you leave it to fill in the blanks that it is prone to synthesize answers. Providing a time stamp for a book publication and asking what month it was published will never fail. Providing just the name of book and asking when it was published will almost always fail.
To lean on “these things are always hallucinating, blah blah” is to lean into being misinformed.
