Why does AI tell you to use Terminal so much?

When humans explain how to tackle a Mac problem, they usually prefer to use GUI apps when appropriate. AI much prefers you to enter commands into Terminal. This has consequences.

By "few" you mean "few Gen-Zs?"

Remains to be seen on my end. Nothing notworthy about gen z in terms of tech/stem. Not particularly smart or dumb, they just kind of exist. On average, they have mediocre tech skills, but generally higher than average emotional intelligence. There are outliers of course, but running laps in a tech scene is a bit of a stretch.
