AI can be good under the right circumstances but only if reviewed 100% of the time by a human.

Homelab is my hobby where I run Proxmox, Debian VM, DNS, K8s, etc, all managed via Ansible.

For what it is worth, I hate docker :)

I wanted to setup a private tracker torrent that should include:

1) Jackett: For the authentication

2) Radarr: The inhouse browser

3) qBitorrent: which receives the torrent files automatically from Radarr

4) Jellyfin: Of course :)

I used ChatGPT to assist me into getting the above done as simple as possible and all done via Ansible:

1) Ansible playbook to setup a Debian LXC Proxmox container

2) Jackett + Radarr + qBitorrent all in one for simplicity

3) Wireguard VPN + Proton VPN: If the VPN ever go down, the entire container network must stop (IPTables) so my home IP isn't leaked.

After 3 nights I got everything working and running 24/7, but it required a lot of review so it can be managed 10 years down the road instead of WTF is this???

There were silly mistakes that make you question "Why am I even using this tool??" but then I remember, Google and search engines are dead. It would have taken me weeks to get this done otherwise, AI tools speed that process by fetching the info I need so I can put them together.

I use AI purely to replace the broken state of search engines, even Brave and DuckDuckGo, I know what I am asking it, not just copy/paste and hope it works.

I have colleagues also into IT field whose the company where they work are fully AI, full access to their environment, they no longer do the thinking, they just press the button. These people are cooked, not just because of the state of AI, if they ever go look for another job, all they did for years was press a button!!
