As a new, very green, very basic sysadmin, something missing from the manual vs. let’s ask a LLM mode is… the human element.

Aside from ethical considerations (environmental costs, stolen training data, erosion of skills and critical thinking), I will always choose “manual mode.” Why? I love receiving tech advice from people on the Fediverse.

Let’s not forget the beauty of human connections 💖
