I strongly dislike the way AI is being used right now. I feel like it is fundamentally an autocomplete on steroids.

The output was flawless except one detail — it specified the gpgkey for RPM verification not using a local file but using plain HTTP. I wouldn’t be upset about HTTPS (that site even supports it), but the answer presented managed to completely thwart security with the absence of a single character…
