So in the thread that made you try it
(https://bsd.network/@dch/110501874752402311) they said:
"@pitrh I’m still waiting for it to explain my pf .conf setup to me”
Which is kinda the inverse of “make me a pf.conf file”. I am curious
if “explain to me this pf.conf in plain english” would work. :-)
Probably about as well. It's the "Chinese Room" AI concept all over
again. No "understanding", just rules.
I find where its helpful is if I understand well what I want and can
evaluate the answer when I see it with confidence. e.g. the other day I
was working with a rather obscure app I had used a lot 2 yrs ago -
influxDB. I knew I wanted to do, but forgot the syntax and its
particular way of doing things was a little foggy. It got it right the
first time. Yes, I could have trolled through the API documentation, or
did a traditional google search, but it was a lot faster and was exactly
what I wanted.
