yeah, no… that’s not at all what i said. i didn’t say “AI doesn’t work”, i said it works exactly as expected: producing bullshit. i understand perfectly well how to get it to spit out useful information, because i know what i can and cannot ask it about. I’d much rather not use it, but it’s pretty much unavoidable now, because of how trash search results have become, specifically for technical subjects. what absolutely doesn’t work is asking AI to perform highly specific, production critical configurations on live systems. you CAN use it to get general answers to general questions. “what’s a common way to do this configuration?” works well enough. “fix this config file for me!” doesn’t work, because it has no concept of what that means in your specific context. and no amount of increasingly specific prompts will ever get you there. …unless “there” is an utter clusterfuck, see the OP for proof…
