Sigh. Search for information about configuring #Wireguard on #FreeBSD. Second result on #DuckDuckGo is a slop web site, which initially looks plausible but then runs a bunch of configuration commands that don't exist on FreeBSD. It does make up plausible output from the FreeBSD equivalents of those commands though!

I wonder how much of the productivity gains of using GenAI are simply slightly offsetting the productivity loses that come from everyone else using it.
