I only consult AI about my homelab problems.
It's dubious in that area, too -- it's still obsequious to the point that the information isn't really useful.
"Is it safe to just run a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx for external access?" -> "Yes, that's safe and secure."
"Shouldn't I also use a separate VLAN on my home network?" -> "Great point! It's much safer to use a dedicated VLAN."
"Are you sure I shouldn't set up a VPN to tunnel into my home network?" -> "Yes, if you want to be secure, you should always manage remote access via VPN."
Sadly that’s a big problem. “Where did it get its data from?”…”Stack Exchange?”…”Cool, you gonna post new answers there or that it worked?”…”No”…”So where does it get its data from for the next thing?”
It becomes an oroborous loop that causes less and less information to be available. You can’t exactly feed it a manual and expect it to understand. Not to mention a lot of things don’t have manuals or good documentation. It’s like Discord, but worse.
and most of the time it doesn't help.
It literally set up about 20-25 services in a week and I'm not experienced with it.
