helping with some code related knowledge, Linux issues

I'm sorry but why the absolute flaming fuck does everyone assume that programming is the only job in the universe?

There are entire industries that don't revolve around Linux. It's amazing but not everyone in the world has to care about programming. Everyone needs to stop telling me that AI is good at programming. Firstly because it isn't, it's good damn awful. Secondly because I'm not a programmer, so I don't care.

I’m just giving examples I relate to, and describe my use of it

Firstly because it isn't, it's good damn awful. Secondly because I'm not a programmer, so I don't care.

That explains why you think it’s awful at it then. You just believe the haters because you have confirmation bias. Fact is companies and people wouldn’t use it to code if it wasn’t good at that

It’s perfect for summaries, known general knowledge, correcting text, roleplay, repetitive tasks and some logic problems…

Well if by that you mean I've used it and it's crap, then yeah, I've confirmed it.
