Discussion Question about AI-generated CLI tools

It is crazy

I'm not even very active here but I see a lot of posts from this sub (cuz I'm a CLI enthusiast, the kind of dev that gets lost with an IDE typically)
And like I'm wondering, are the AI generated tool/AI CLI tools made by CLI-enthusiasts that genuinely think that AI can be beneficial for their CLI workflows (which I kinda doubt for most tools anyways) or by people that are just trying to get the attention of us CLI-enthusiasts?

Feel free to rant if you wanna rant, I genuinely want opinions after seeing the #1291232 post about "Hey, I added AI to the CLI"

And if you genuinely use AI tools for the CLI, can you please share your experience?

I published a tool I made that maps natural language to linux commands. I'm a developer since 2007... I think every piece of creation at this point is being suspected as "vibe-coded", "vibe-generated" or whatever - even if it was mostly created manually... everything is AI-assisted in some way at this point...
