From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Chat gpt in his screenshot. What a hack.
It's the reality for many developers today.
Absolutely, you'd be dumb to not use the tools at your disposal
Back in my day i just used rivets we didnt need these new fangled screws and their drivers.
Yes I get what your saying, but in this analogy the screws are destroying the planet, and also hallucinate enough to be completely untrustworthy as fastenings.
I agree. The issue is people are not comparing this to a manual lookup. they are comparing it to another person who is just as likely to hallucinate/misremember things.
All sorts of actual devs also use AI tools to help them out. A good exame is ThePrimeagen who uses copilot
He doesn't anymore. I'm pretty sure he justified it by saying that it makes you slower because you end up with a habit of waiting for it to tell you the wrong answer.
