Using Grok to create a shell script

The article details the author's experience using the Grok AI to generate a bash script for synchronizing ZFS snapshots between two PCs. It presents the initial AI-generated code and then provides a critical analysis, pointing out inefficiencies and a dangerous use of the `-F` flag in `zfs receive`. The author concludes that while AI can produce code, understanding and manual review are essential, especially for those with less experience.
