Pointing them to docs? Which is anyway what stack overflow answers did?
- mlinhares 4mo agoI wrote multiple answers to questions that weren't just "point to docs". And even when it is pointing to docs you are providing the reasoning as to why it works one way or another.
- izacus 4mo agoWhat docs? Who writes docs now that AIs answer everything?
- vanuatu 4mo agoon the contrary, theres more of an incentive for apis to have docs for agent discovery. the docs / interfaces themselves can be auto-gened (stainless / mintlify)
- ethagnawl 4mo agoI know you're being facetious but there may well be docs. It's just that the same AI most likely wrote _them_, too. Did anyone (person or competing LLM) bother to verify that they're correct, though? Who knows! Let the next generation of models worry about that.
- izacus 4mo agoYeah, sorry, I guess I should be clearer that I'm rather sarcastic. My sad experience unfortunately shows that people less docs (or the docs are now hallucinated AI slop) instead of writing more of them.
- Morromist 4mo agoI've heard this is now most of some CS jobs now. Just writing documentation for AI.
- Fabricio20 4mo agoEver since the AI stuff started rolling around on coding i've seen MORE documentation, theres a big incentive to properly document your API endpoints so LLMs can figure it out from specs, and even when not documented the llms can also just read the code and figure it out directly (for libraries and similar). And at least in my experience they tend to document or write it down for future sessions too!
