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.

How is it worse than taking advise off of the Internet? At the end of the day you need to be aware of what you are doing.
Mistral has helped me with a variety of tasks such as finding tools and choosing ZFS geometry
BTW - thanks for Mistral. Another tool in the box!
Quite right!
You need to take it all (AI or internet searches) with a huge pinch of salt. Even ye olde text books were not infallible and often out of date, so sodium chloride was also required even then.
The code either works or it doesn't - it's all in the testing. If you deploy AI suggestions without thought you deserve the consequences.
I think the reliability of the response also depends on the prompt. Certain prompts decrease the reliability issues.
