@symys:dailyaslbot.twilightparadox.comsymysPersonally I feel like a q&a support bot with warning labels would make more sense than a doc generator as such.02:05:21
@symys:dailyaslbot.twilightparadox.comsymysI've been on the other hand thinking about "deterministic" doc generation... Which has certain advantages over "AI" (namely accuracy) but also distinct issues (verbosity).02:11:58

@adam:robins.wtf@adam:robins.wtfhallucinations aren't great, but humans can provide incorrect information too, and it seems the alternative is going to chat/forum and asking humans to help. granted, that would be in a public forum where other people could correct the bad information18:17:19

I guess generating docs could work if they get a PR and are reviewed just like human additions. It could be set to do it kinda slowly, like a doc a day, to reduce alert fatigue on that.
