I think using AI for tech documentation is great for people who don't really give a shit about their tech documentation. If you were going to half-ass it anyway, you can save a lot of money half-assing it with AI.

How is this for an ordering:

Good human written docs > AI written docs > no docs > bad human written docs

Documentation needs to be tested.

Someone has to turn off their brain completely and just follow the instructions as-is. Then log the locations where the documentation wasn't clear enough or assumed some knowledge that wasn't given in the docs.

All valid points but I fear our brave new world cares not

>> liability doesn’t vanish just because AI wrote it

I think this is going to be a defining theme this year.

Hey Claude, summarise this letter for me and write a response.

This was sooo well written (that’s the point I guess)

No! No! I want all the companies to go all in on AI and completely destroy the last of the professional respect given to writers.

Why?

Because the legal catastrophe that will follow will entertain me so very very much.
