As I originally said, it’s trivial, but someone always feels the need to come in and shit on everything.

Until a few months ago, I was a Windows user, and I had been since the 90s.
This was the method I used


You can do that without Windows. What is the benefit?
It’s trivial to make a USB bootable installer.


I don’t even think it could work. NT will bsod if the os drive disappears, so unless you install on a different drive or partition, the OS will die.
I’m positive it’s because of people hating on AI, and while I don’t want AI in everything, it does have it’s uses. I use it for work to write delivery documents, but I give it very constrained operating parameters. It can be incredibly useful if you do.
Give it a persona: “Senior Software Developer” Give it truth parameters. “You must not assume. You must not hallucinate. Any information presented must be factual, and backed with documentary evidence using citations. Any information that can not be proven with citation, must be marked, and you must provide reasoning.” and so on and so on. I have a whole sheet of prompt shortcuts I use for different types of documentation based on target and subject.
I also read and fact check everything it produces. I follow every citation and verify it says what the AI thinks it does. I also do section by section. I don’t produce whole documents, I produce sections and compile them together later.
I treat it like a research assistant, not like something to do the work for me. I usually do a brain dump of random thoughts and things I know are important for the document I am working on, be it a collection of point forms, emails I receive, news articles, and so on.
AI has made my job more efficient, because I can pump out 30 pages in a day, where that used to take me a week. Especially since I can produce two documents, one for a non-technical C level, and one for a technical person at the same time.
