the next 5+ years will see software proliferate rapidly as a result of things like chatgpt and llm augmented documentation pages. Building things end to end just got easier and will become more so soon.

those links are great counterarguments. But we are still in early stages, which i dont think is indicative of the end state of these tools (though that can be debated of course).


also upon further inspection, it appears as though ai-explain was not added by the core team or MDNs steering team. It looks like someone just took it upon themselves to add it, without doing DD on the feature, if true, its not surprising it doesnt work well.


I would love LLMs to write documentation for me, even though I don't trust them with the code.
