I don't know what AI could bring to the table in this case that you can't do without it already. Command completions or fixing typos works without using AI. If there was an actual benefit, I'd be open to try it out but only by using an open source LLM running locally. I'm definitely not creating an account and paying a monthly subscription while not even being able to use it offline.

I'm not the biggest fan of the forced account thing, but I do like a lot of Warp's features. The command suggestions especially make dealing with tools that have like 1000 switches so much easier (like docker for example). Other than that... It's easy to customize, fast and looks good.

Tl;Dr: I like Warp, cry about it.

tldr, fzf-tab suffices for me. For anything else you may give shellgpt a try. But I love my Alacritty with a zsh and p10k.

simply use thefuck

Terminal with GUI drop down menus every time you try and type something seems like the kind of Terminal a microsoft executive would dream up

This is faily easy to build using offline models. Only problem is GPU whirring away running typically light terminal commands.

Don't need it, don't want it. They can fuck off with this nonsense.

optional autocomplete is a nice-to-have, eager autocomplete is a pain in the ass. as long as it only completes when I ask it to, I don't mind.

If I have to use a cloud service or create an account to use the terminal, it’s a no for me dawg.

Did warp ever follow through with allowing folks to use it without signing into your GitHub account?

I'm likely going to try out Wave Terminal with a self hosted LLM. I think it may well be quite useful, just don't want to upload my entire command history to OpenAI.

To me this is complete nonsense

but they (warp) seem to be funding fzf ... which is good on their part, I guess.

The AI can have access to a terminal in a docker container on my raspberry pi. If I’m convinced it’s trustworthy it might move up to a docker container on my desktop.

I really enjoy Warp. It’s sleek and modern, plus it saves me a lot of time with its advanced autofill features. It also gives me helpful suggestions for minor edits if I’m making small errors that keep a command from running.

I haven’t used the chatbot, but I have found the user experience of the program to be better than most other terminals I’ve used before.

the non AI features of warp, such as the modern editing and easy function creation, are more interesting to me than the AI features. I wish there was an open source terminal that felt this modern.

I have used AI to generate commands many times, but not often enough that I need it built into my terminal. I prefer my default terminal experience be more minimal.

Just use Ollama.

I feel like every use case they showcase is useless if you remember the commands. And if you don't know a command, the classic googling until you find something that works usually does the trick.

As long as AI is not being forced into the existing terminal standards, it's good, as you can just choose to not use a terminal with AI.

I'll just use ChatGPT standalone, lol. Or cheat.sh.

Fish's autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can't really think of a reason I'd need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.
