I feel like we have very different definitions on the word “terminal” and “power user”.
None of the features feel like it belong to a terminal and I doubt the AI will give good answers to complicated technical questions. Also, it probably takes more keystrokes to update your Ubuntu box using “prompt language”, rather than a simple Ctrl-R and finding the command you need.
Good advice. After half a year of using a box, you’re practically fine with just Ctrl+R. And I mean who has the time to type out ‘git submodule update’ anyways, or remeber how to do ‘journalctl -f -u nginx.service’… Just hit Ctrl+R, type 5 letters you remember and it’ll show up. Unless AI can do the ‘sudo make me a sandwich’. Then, I’m going to switch immediately.

My thoughts as well. Plus LLMs are trained on a lot of outdated data, so often it would recommend a walk through that does not apply.
I don’t think anyone knows how to actually use ctrl+r, though. When I try I usually give up and resort running egrep on bash_history instead.
