I'm sure you know what opportunity cost is

Haha, are you trying to suggest you'll have lost much by putting an AI tool to the test? You seem to think it's powerful enough to do the work of porting Alpine Linux (or equivalent) to new hardware without human intervention (beyond the initial prompt), what exactly are you losing by trying this out? It's not your time, as you would have spent less time on giving a simple instruction to an AI tool than you spent in talking to me.

Perhaps the reality is that you know AI needs more hand-holding than this, and the tools aren't up to the task you're thinking of setting them.
