    Just be careful to think twice before doing what it says. (That goes for any advice from the internet too!)

    Like all the old stories of people’s GPS steering them into a lake. Let the GPS help you, but still, like, actually look at the road!

    ETA: It’s probably quite reliable at explaining what terminal commands do, since it’s drawing from many manuals. But sometimes it might completely make up the answer, in a way that’s almost right but terribly wrong. You think the command does one thing, so you use it ‘appropriately’, but really it does something else so your carefully thought out use goes completely wrong.
