Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They say the dont collect data and you can check it aswell as opt out. But the idea of a terminal being read by an Ai makes me hesitant aswell as a account needed to use warp. What do you guys think?

    I’m not the biggest fan of the forced account thing, but I do like a lot of Warp’s features. The command suggestions especially make dealing with tools that have like 1000 switches so much easier (like docker for example). Other than that… It’s easy to customize, fast and looks good.

    Tl;Dr: I like Warp, cry about it.

      Command suggestions can be provided by the shell too for what it’s worth. fish ships with autosuggestion and autocompletion. For zsh, you need a separate plugin (but it’s well worth it)

      Its not that i hate the idea of having an AI in the terminal its just the idea of having a account to use it. I played around with it last night and tried diffrent ideas which it sometimes is useful. I did #what is my graphics card “Lspci -k “VGA”” Ok that was helpful Then i tried #what driver is my graphics card using? “Lspci -k “VGA”” Which does not list your driver. Its hit or miss.
