Even better, "hey, chat GPT, list my branches by commit date."
I know that's not a popular answer, but I'm just trying to demonstrate the reality that this kind of knowledge isn't specialized anymore.

Even better than ChatGPT is just doing the thing on reflex. Not every manual step is necessarily a tedious chore nor even slower when you actually know what you're doing.
I'm not saying this out of hubris, but there's no man vs machine story here when the machine needs babysitting and is still worse at everything. Nobody is resisting AI at this point. We just need to get shit done and that always requires knowing something. Every new technology quickly hits a ceiling and finds its niche. This isn't it.
I promise you nobody is trying to show off. Git's CLI is notoriously inconsistent and verbose, and every GUI for it is always missing a ton of relevant features because it was designed for someone else's itch.
Now we have people like you trying to wedge AI into the discussion. I'm sorry dude. There's nothing to argue here. Git is the most important tool we have as developers. It's worth learning because the whole point is precise changes. We put up with the bad interfaces because it's otherwise just that good.
