this is what ai says about rm -rf *

-me-
would you ever advise me to do it

No, I would never advise you to run the rm -rf /* command. It is extremely
destructive and would result in the deletion of nearly all files on your
system, rendering it unusable and leading to significant data loss. This
command should be avoided at all costs unless you fully understand the
consequences and have a very specific reason for needing to completely wipe
your filesystem, in which case, safer methods are typically available.
Always ensure you have complete backups before performing any risky
operations
I'll be more careful with it though.
