I find it amazing how people can use AI to do things that seem hard but yesterday I could not figure out how to install a package on my system. It kept suggesting dependencies that don't exist, and telling me to use functions that are not in the system. The math does not math...
How were you expecting it to know what your system setup was? Did you ask it for some bash commands to get it the info it would need to get unstuck? Or were you just expecting magic?
What's worse is that HN doesn't even try to figure out how such a result could be obtained. They just take it at face value and go into dear diary mode.
Reddit has some good discussions on the topic.
