Of course, the drawback is that the machine doesn't really know what you intended without more context than a single command line. Often it can make a good guess, but not always and sometimes it'll guess wrong, perhaps disastrously so.

Well, it's guessing the intent of a user on command line and trying to fix their problem automatically. I don't expect perfection so much as it working well enough in common situations.

But it asks for confirmation and almost always suggests more than one option. Although it isn't smart enough to remember what you chose and suggest this variant in future.

Why not introduce some sort of AI to it and get it to understand more what one wants to do?
