My experience is that you want to keep changes as focused as possible. The smaller the context it has to work on the better the results tend to be, and the easier it is to check that it did what you actually wanted it to.
Yeah AI is really stupid especially when it comes to bash. Once one of my colleague came to me asking a bash script not working that they got from ChatGPT. It was 20-30 lines with function and everything was a variable even the commands. I didn't even bother reading, asked them what they were trying to do and wrote a simple one liner and it did exactly what they wanted in first try.....
