Does it matter if lsof is slower than ss? Somebody asking this to the AI is going to run it once, maybe twice. What's an extra second?

The answer doesn't have to be perfect, it just as to be good enough.

I could see this tool being incredibly handy for working with tar

Not really. I just mentioned it because it was notably slower than ss. I did not actually measured it, just saw it when trying the example.

From my 4 points I wouldn't hold the first two alone against an AI driven suggestion. Only the last two, while not horrible bad or severe or anything, are (imo) notable downsides compared to the typical ss/netstat approach.

Why do you think the spit out results won't end up in shell scripts?

I've heard people are even copy-pasting stuff from Stackoverflow into production code without fully understanding the code they're copying.
