Yes, with respect to the grey bearded uncles and aunties; as someone who never "learned" bash, in 2025 I'm letting a LLM do the bashing for me.

Yeah, an LLM can quickly parrot some basic boilerplate that's showed up in its training data a hundred times.

For building a quick template that I can tweak to my needs, it works really well. I just don’t find it to be an intuitive scripting language.

If When the script gets too complicated, AI could also convert it to Python.

I tried it once at least, and it did a pretty good job, although I had to tell it to use some dedicated libraries instead of calling programs with subprocess.
