Can ChatGPT run macchanger on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs macchanger there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install macchanger first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install macchanger for you.
