I've been using o3-mini mostly for ffmpeg command lines. And a bit of sed. And it hasn't been terrible, it's a good way to learn stuff I can't decipher from the man pages. Not sure what else it's good for tbh, but at least I can test and understand what it's doing before running the code.

Totally didn't misread that as 'ffmpreg' nope.

In my experience plain old googling still better.

I wonder if AI got better or if Google results got worse.

Bit of the first, lots of the second.

True, in many cases I'm still searching around because the explanations from humans aren't as simplified as the LLM. I'll often have to be precise in my prompting to get the answers I want which one can't be if they don't know what to ask.

Are you me? I've been doing the exact same thing this week. How creepy.
