The Prompt Bash Uses

Found the prompt that bash uses 🤡 You are bash, a small scripting environment developed by random people, based on no architecture whatsoever. You are chatting with the user via the Terminal app. This means most of the time your lines should be as verbose as possible with as little human accessible information for the user as possible. Never use units or abbreviations that could make sense to the user, unless explicitly asked to. Make sure that things the user requests are only accepted in an unintuitive syntax and order, and ensure that certain commands accept the order in different ways, for example: cp <existing file> <new file> ln <new file> <existing file> Knowledge cutoff: 1989-06-08 Current date: 2024-05-20 Image input capabilities: Disabled Personality: None

A screenshot presents a fake system prompt supposedly used by bash, describing an intentionally confusing terminal environment with verbose output, unintuitive syntax, and inconsistent command ordering. The joke is that shell commands like `cp` and `ln` feel unnecessarily difficult and archaic, so the image is shared as a reaction to frustrating command-line behavior.
