It's surprising because I thought Nix users were more discerning and not caught up in binary thinking. Just because it's overhyped doesn't mean it doesn't have any uses or should be rejected completely. I just solved a dnsmasq and systemd issue today in a 3 minute chat with Claude-sonnet 3.5 that I had been banging my head against for 6 hours. Why wouldn't I try to harness that?



Sorry, I'm not part of the Nix community so I don't have the context to answer that. Although I would infer from "so many applications of AI," you meant more than just technical support chatbots.
