Oh god, please don't use it for Bash. LLM-generated Bash is such a fucking pot of horse shit bad practices. Regular people have a hard enough time writing good Bash, and something trained on all the fucking crap on StackOverflow and GitHub is inevitably going to be so bad...

The problem isn't the tool, it's the user: they don't know if they're getting good code or not, therefore they cannot make the prompt to improve it.
In my view the problems occur when using AI to do something you don't already know how to do.
