Well now Idk about that...it's assumedly trained on the entire Microsoft archive of code. Probably also trained on everything in GitHub, too.
I wouldn't doubt an LLM's ability to churn out lots of lines of code and add-on half the original LOC's in random Windows Crap.
Also, have you seen Windows 11? Damn near unrecognizable from Windows 10 20H2, let alone 1507. And a lot of that is absolute crap updates like hiding the original legacy tools and putting in worthless apps that look nice but can't do half the crap that they could before (looking at you,
ncpa.cpl)...but at least the original tools are just "hidden", not removed. Yet.I will say, I do like PowerShell lately. Probably more than bash (as in, all other things equal, I can either turn on a Windows PC to write a shell script, or a Linux PC to write a shell script, to do the same thing...the only reason I'd prefer bash would be because I wouldn't have to use Windows...). Not as much as Python, but that's kinda apples/oranges.
