AI assistance entirely changes that equation - if I can reduce a problem to something that a coding agent can go and crunch away at while I'm doing other things I can say "yes" to all manner of learning exercises that I previously didn't have enough time to take on

I want to think this is a phase, that stakeholders will realize what's wrong with this. We'll need to persuade them, and advocate, and explain why we've drawn lines — because we need to draw lines.

“The bar for what counts as documentation gets lower every time we pretend these outputs are good enough.”
Yep. There’s the key: the pressure to use AI to generate docs depends on pretending that the outputs are good enough.

I'm experiencing a strange kind of anxiety since I use LLMs, which appears when I'm out of ideas on how to use it. It's like having a superpower and not knowing who needs to be saved. Or having a car but no roads.

I see this as a clever code summarization tool. They're careful not to call this "docs" but "wiki", which is a way of saying "this is a repo byproduct you can talk to".
