My harkness test is that if you wouldn't trust it to run a nuclear power plant. Why on earth would you trust it making changes on your own computer?
"Help! There's a mode conflict at startup! ECCS pressure is plummeting and core temps are over 500°C"
ChatGPT: "Hmmm this is a complex issue that requires thought and consideration... Disable auto-SCRAM, insert rods, and pray to the god of your choosing"
I barely trust myself to run a nuclear power plant until the next scheduled maintenance (I wouldn't touch anything and wait for it to shutdown on its own), but I happily trust myself with root permissions and slapped together bash scripts (but not both at the same time).
If I followed that standard, I also wouldn't run Windows. And....I don't. So yeah. It checks out.
