It’s honestly amazing if used correctly. Having to remember awk, sed, etc, the exact syntax, idiosyncrasies across OS’s, was always a pain the ass for me. It often makes mistakes, but less than I do trying to customize solutions from the internet. I get a better result much quicker.

My concerns with unsupervised learning statistical models have never been about the tech. It’s always been about capitalism and how the psychopaths in charge would wield it.
