It erased my external ssd.
I was having a problem copying a file from one external disk to the other, where one disk just jumped out, and asked GPT for help. We did the usual, smartctl, a few reading and writing checks.
Then all of a sudden it gives me a command that overwrites everything on sde1. Just as a test. I did the command before reading all of it. Even after aborting if after a few seconds, the disk is gone.
Why? How does it even get the idea to that? Its completely absurd to me. Its not even the first time chatGPT deleted something. How does it get the idea that overwriting a disk is even an option for anything?

>>106509005
it wasnt random. I was looking for the reason why copying from one ssd to another leads to one checking out. How does it even get the idea to just completely overwrite one. On what planet is this reasonable?
All the other commands before were fine.
>>
>>106508985
> How does it even get the idea to that?
How do YOU get the idea to run a command without knowing what it does? more so when the command is related to data and partitions?

> I did the command before reading all of it
well there you go! that's what you get!

> Its completely absurd to me. Its not even the first time chatGPT deleted something.
YOU deleted YOUR own shit by YOU running a command into YOUR pc that deletes YOUR drive.

> How does it get the idea that overwriting a disk is even an option for anything?
How do you get the idea that trusting a hallucinatory probabilistic string spewing machine completely blindly with your data is even an option for anything?

you did this to yourself. there's no amount of denying that.
>>
>>106509613
you are not wrong. Its not even the first time. Its just so unexpected it went from use smartctl and check if reading and writing works to just deleting an entire drive. I shouldnt ask Ai ever again.

It's a rite of passage to destroy your file system with dd. At least now you know to not run write commands on a raw block device if there's a file system on there and to always keep backups, right?
Maybe ChatGPT can guide you through the recovery process. Just make sure to work on a disk image instead of the real disk. The files should still be there but the GPT/Superblock might be fucked, but both make redundant copies of themselves usually.
>>
>>106509911
if you look at >>106509711
you will see it advertised the advice as safe. How would you ever think it would not begin to overwrite my drive?

>>106509935
I did recover like 90% already. Not through the recovery process though. The drive mostly contained projects and notes, mostly stored in ods files. I got nearly all ods files from local libreoffice caches, and the two recent projects making up 99% of all I worked on I coincidentally saved locally recently as a test, so I can copy those.

Sadly a few notes are missing as well as my IDE which I made portable through editing a few sh files. That I will have to do again. And some notes of projects I barely worked on are gone. I cant stitch together anything the recovery apps spit out.

From now on:
3 2 1 rule with backups
actually verify your backups
use software that can restore your system files in instants
use sandboxing
read nigga read

This is a certified /g/ retard moment. Congratulations, you are probably the dumbest poster on /g/ right now.

do people actually give these retarded guessing machines shell access? not just shell access, but fucking WRITE permissions?

How fucking stupid?

no, it's even worse, anon copy pasted and ran the command himself

>>
>>106510200
you will laugh at me even more... I kind of do most of these things already.
I do run everything in a vm, bare metal just starts vms. Bc this already happened last year.
I backup my files on a hdd,
Usually I sandbox, I start a new vm for nearly everything I try.
Sadly I deleted my project ssd, the one I work on that has the most actual stuff, so some is lost.
I never expected this to happen on this occasion. I just wanted to know why my file wont copy.

>use software that can restore your system files in instants
example? snapshots usually dont save external drives.

This nigga was tricked by AI TWICE, over the SAME FUCKING THING

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>How does it get the idea...
chatbots are a lossy approximation of the truth, they don't think or have ideas. your first mistake was trust, without even bothering to verify.

Your mistake was imagining that the random word generator knows anything or has ideas. It just shits out tokens retard, don't trust it.
>>
>>106510093
>How would you ever think it would not begin to overwrite my drive?
I inherently don't trust LLMs, so I would have read the entirety of the text if I was doing something as inherently dangerous as messing with SSDs. I would have also made sure I fully understood what the command and the flags used did.
>>
If you find the command suspicious, be up front. Read the manpage of the command, maybe even ask another LLM like Llama "this shit looks suspicious, please explain why wtf is going on will this rape my system".

It's glorified autocomplete. It doesn't "get" ideas, not can it think through consequences. And yet, somehow you're even dumber than it.

>>106508985
Why are aicucks so retarded? Did the AI rot their brain?
>>
>>106510093
are you illiterate because it clearly says that if you type in that command its going to overwrite the drive that is the output
>>
>>106508985
Are people seriously just pasting in commands without knowing what they do?
Holy fuck
You deserve what you get

It's okay I run tons of commands without knowing what they do. I would get nothing done if I had to look up and learn every stupid -o -y - -a -pqrst stupid piece of shit argument for some simple fucking action on Linux

you keep clinging onto that piece of text from the previous answer, but running that dd command is safe, if you know what its doing and know to back shit up. and anyway you literally just reply yes so ur even shit at prompting an llm which is even more embarassing
