    ChatGPT told me to do

    sudo sha256sum /dev/sda1 > /dev/sda1

    So. Is this wrong? I thought it backs up the data

      Yeah we’re going to see much more of this moving forward. Yesterday i installed Linux for a friend and they asked about fixing problems. I told them to always look at the date & compatibility when they search for solutions. They then volunteered: “and I guess I can always ask ChatGPT, it’s pretty good with these things”. I grunted non-committally.
