Just don’t use it then. Use Google or post to forums, read solutions, understand the solutions, then implement the solutions. Using these steps helps to create a deeper understanding of the OS as a whole (regardless of which OS you’re using honestly). Now admittedly, I’ve never used an AI prompt (and never will), so I don’t know how it structures its results, but I imagine it skips the steps for learning or obfuscates them in some manner. Also be sure to use man pages to help as they contain an absolute wealth of information themselves.
Just remember people have been learning Linux long before LLMs came into existence. Trust me when I say you can learn Linux without its assistance, too.
As a note, I’ve been using Linux since 2007 when I picked up Ubuntu on a whim. It was dual booted for the next 11 years and then became my daily driver shortly thereafter. The steps outlined above are how I became proficient at using the OS.
