The proliferation of component content systems(CCS), aka, the idea of re-using modules of prefabricated content among technical writers, will finally, hopefully, get murdered by large-scale adoption of LLMs in the technical publication space.[0] Unfortunately, training LLMs on CCS modules goes really, really badly, because it's not natural language. It's a milkshake of formal language - with keys described in external and secret places - and natural language. Often with some fun SGML character artifacts[1] thrown in to scramble the brains of my text digesters. The real crap of it is, for these reasons and more, the LLMs will find the CCS content more or less useless. At the end of the day, we'll just train 'em on the outputs - the actual usable documents. Which makes aaaaalllllll that CCS effort not just wasted, but an active impediment. It's a bit funny, in that I get most of my money from implementing these CCS systems, but at heart I feel like, 95% of the time, they're a very terrible bad terrible idea. Of course, the way the winds are blowing from USN CIO and other bodies, it's entirely possible that ALL technologies classified as "AI" (by someone?) could be banned not just from USN metal, but from being installed on prem by any contractor. Now . . if THAT is the final policy decision, well, I dunno. I literally have no idea what they're thinking in that case. It would be pretty dumb, even for the defense business. It's also kinda useless, people have been using backpropagating neural networks for a while already in fault rees, image analysis, a million other things . . how they're gonna roll that back is a mystery. [0] Weirdly, I don't think tech writers will. Not all of them. They're deciphering new systems a lot of the time, and I don't see the models as being more than 70% accurate in a lot of those cases, because often no one really knows what the system even is when the writer starts writing. But yeah, a lot of writers will get canned quite easily. That . . that might be my fault, a little bit. [1] Or worse. "Oh, good, null characters everywhere! I am so glad PTC loved these so much they put them literally everywhere". That's been a fun little excursion.
