My favorite genre of post in r/homelab and r/selfhosted this past year has been "I used AI to set all this stuff up and something broke so I asked AI to fix it and now all my data is gone."

There are so many NAS + Curated App Catalog distros out there that make self-hosting trivial without needing to Vibe SysAdmin.

I keep hearing this, and asking for examples, and there aren't really any.

I've broken my internet many times by asking ChatGPt for help setting up PiHole as a DHCP server. I'll post conversation excerpts later if I remember.

It was just giving commands to run that were plain wrong and extremely destructive, and unless you already knew what they were doing you were screwed.

I have 4-5 more conversations like this. It's honestly almost a piece of art, the LLM keeps spouting out shit like "Ah got it, your issue is clear now", and digging deeper into the wrong direction.
