How is this different than say, searching stack overflow for a command or chain of commands?
You still have to enable the feature, and you still have to hit enter.
If you are running commands in a privileged terminal then you ought to already have enough experience to be skeptical of commands that you don’t understand, and ensure that you do understand them before you run them.
The only thing that caused me any concern about the demo was that the user action to take the proposed command from the prompt window back into the terminal, was unclear. That is the dangerous step, and should be hard to do accidentally and be very clear on impact.
- mvdtnz 2y agoA stack overflow answer that is downright wrong is likely to be downvoted or removed completely. An answer that works but has subtle security issues is likely to have comments warning readers to be cautious. AI has none of this. An AI will tell you with full confidence to use a command that it doesn't understand, it merely constructed it from a statistical model that is impossible to understand completely. That command may work, or it may be totally invalid, or it may expose you to a major security risk. We really don't know.
