I once had an intern attempt to install sudo using NPM and when that didn't work he asked ChatGPT "Why can't I install sudo from NPM?" while I'm trying to explain it to him.

He was smart, but somehow knew very little about commercial computers despite being on the verge of getting his master's in computer science.
