Similar case for me, but I think the author says it well:

Even if ChatGPT lets you bang out more complex shell scripts easily, if you have to come back to it later on to fix an error or add a new feature, it's really hard to understand it (if you don't deal with such scripts on a daily basis). If you start with Ruby (or Python or similar) from the beginning, it's much easier to understand and extend later on.
