… so you could type anything at the terminal and the artificial intelligence would provide documentation + suggestions for corresponding commands. Of course, the a.i. should never be able to run any commands by itself.

    Eew, no. Multiple issues with this.

    1. Performance. When I’m booting my computer I want it to turn on ASAP. I don’t want it wasting time loading such a heavy system like a “language” model.
    2. Security. Yes, someone will make it run commands. And even if it doesn’t, simply suggesting what you should type is already bad.
    3. Discouraging people from reading the manpages, and understanding what the command does, before typing it out. Unless your LLM gives you a comprehensive explanation of the command, but then you’re just reinventing the manpages.

        I’ve seen it. Using a second machine to perform actions is inefficient IMO; plus as someone else said, this already exists - you could simply ask some chatbot the question through your second machine, like writing !ai how does the Linux command "ls" work? in DDG.
