@symys:dailyaslbot.twilightparadox.comsymys* I've been on the other hand thinking about "deterministic" doc generation... Which has certain advantages over "AI" (namely accuracy) but also distinct issues (verbosity and style).02:12:27

@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
