I also assumed this was going to be an intro to using AI as an interface for your local device. I love terminal use and scripting, but after experiencing what it's like to tell an AI to do something in plain language and it does it I'm also excited about that future. There won't be a need to memorize obscure "commands" or syntax when an AI can directly do what you ask or even provide a script for you. We might might occasionally miss the old days when we had a unique skill set, but progress marches on.
I've learned a surprising amount by watching AI do stuff in the shell, or running an agent in a sandbox and having it tell me what commands to run on the machine I'm debugging.
