Remember that AI answer that said that adding -f option was to get a confirmation before deletion ?

I’m a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation…

Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.
