  • except that noobs can destroy their systems very easily by following LLM instructions…

    • To be fair it is the same for random commands in some forums. It’s like tradition at this point. LLM just remove the societal fear of being shamed for asking a stupid question.

      • the difference is that LLMs spit out actual bs quite frequently while forums are usually simply outdated or smth

        • When I was a child I’d go on Yahoo Answers and give bad advice and then vote myself as having the best answer. I was a ‘top answerer’ for several niche subjects I know nothing about.
