I was really pleased finding this last year, but I guess it's time to look for an alternative. I don't get why everything has to have AI shoved into it
Atuin AI sounds like a useful addition. The page suggests they're probably using hosted models:
We use the latest frontier models, which already do a good job of generating commands using well-known binaries and CLIs. On top of that, we integrate a dataset powered by man pages and command outputs to ensure you get the correct command first.
This is great, but does it mean we'll need to log in somehow? It doesn't seem reasonable to expect the project maintainers to pay for the tokens.
EDIT: I was unaware of Atuin's 'hub' which does things like sync your shell history across computers. I think they use the same sign-in as they already use for that: https://hub.atuin.sh/register
> On top of that, we integrate a dataset powered by man pages and command outputs to ensure you get the correct command first.
Also makes it sound like they're "providing that dataset", rather than generating that from the users computer. Wouldn't that mean it's potentially a mismatch between various versions of the software available? Not to mention some OSes will have a different version of some software available compared to others, how does it deal with those situations if they're shipping a dataset?
Hmm might be great for some. I’m a Unix philosophy guy, one tool for one job. So far atuin was fine to be a better search history. Now it might be time to look for simpler alternative. Any suggestions? (I’m on zsh)
Why does every tool on the face of earth try to add AI features ? Good tools are simple and orthogonal. If you want AI, there's already plenty of other tools doing it probably better.
I'm overall fairly disappointed by this announcement. This IMHO doesn't bode well

There is no way is it not generated on user computer.
"get the correct command first" and "shipping a [external] dataset" are incompatible.

I tried atuin and then switched back to fzf[0]. It's less features but that's not necessarily a negative.

Atuin is great. This, fish, LazyGit, and zellij are mandatory for me now.
I was already turned off by their decision to remove support for fzf, which I use everywhere else. I'm done.
I’m not sure what you mean here - we never supported fzf, other than a super early prototype in like 2021
This release actually adds support for nucleo, which matches with the same algorithm as fzf and was a common request

As soon as a tool adds pricing, price increases or adds AI that's when it begins to be enshittified.
Why does this happen mostly?
