Yep… couldn’t agree more. I has its uses but too many people are using it and disconnecting their brain. Going to meetings where people have used it to determine requirements, do analysis or even transform data and then don’t even review the results themselves before presenting and asking us to review them is rage-inducing. “What do you mean it has problems? Where? What’s wrong??” And there’s like 5 things I’ve spotted in 2 minutes and it’s clear they’ve not even reviewed it themselves.

This guy and his long-ass, poorly formatted AI-generated “documentation” no one asked for and then after numerous errors are pointed out… “Will you review the rest?” The audacity!! 😄

Additionally, is the other parenthetical information materially correct? If not, which points [1 thru to 7] are wrong?

This is one of the problems with relying on AI… it can produce an overwhelming amount of content with errors and inaccuracies throughout. If you don’t review and know the content yourself, you won’t know what it got wrong.

It’s genuinely rude to lazily use AI to produce such a large babble of details and then ask someone else to review it for errors when you haven’t reviewed it yourself. I know you didn’t mean it that way but that’s nonetheless the result. People are going to read your comment and be misled about this project all because they assume AI is accurate and you didn’t review its results.

Edit: Sheesh… I hadn’t even got to your shitty comments that followed. You use AI to make a low effort but highly verbose post and then get mad that the repo author won’t review it in detail for you when you can’t be arsed with reading the docs yourself.

Not to ask a possibly silly question but I haven’t seen these questions asked and I don’t know your network experience. You’ve supplied the actual network address of your pihole machine and not the 192.168.1.250 address shown, right? And you’ve set your pihole server up to have a static ip address as well, correct? You don’t want it assigned dynamically and therefore randomly everytime it renews its lease.

If the ip address is statically assigned - either hard-coded as static on the machine or at least being statically assigned on your router via its mac address - then setting the dns server on your router should work. I would however assign 2nd and 3rd dns servers as Google dns or cloud flare ip addresses in case your pihole server is ever down. (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 or some of the others). If that’s all confirmed and your machines are not receiving your configured dns settings from the router, it’s possible (seems unlikely) the spectrum supplied router is ignoring the settings and assigning their dns servers. If so, buy your own router and put it between your home network and the spectrum hardware. Then you have control and it doesn’t matter what their hardware does. You’ll just set yours up on a different subnet - 192.168.x where x doesn’t match the same value as the spectrum network - and you should be good to go.

Good luck!
