Writing docs for software is something that in theory LLMs should be great at. It's clear they are useful, and that developers generally do not like writing them, and that LLMs are good at condensing complex information into easier to understand text.
- jampekka 2y agoIf you can get docs from an LLM, why not just use LLM interactively? That's how I use them anyway, I just ask how to do X with library Y and then ask for further info if needed. If that fails, go for the source code.
- jeltz 2y agoBecause you need to proof read it and correct issues. Every time I have tried using LLMs to document something non-trivial there have been fundamental misunderstandings. And those are easy for the orginal author of the code to fix.
