Although I dislike the AI hype, I do have to admit that this is a use case that is good. You saved time here, right?
I personally still prefer the oldschool way, the slower way - I write the code, I document it, I add examples, then if I feel like it I add random cat images to the documentation to make it appear less boring, so people also read things.
Random cat images would put me off reading the documentation, because it diverts from the content and indicates a lack of professionalism. Not that I don’t like cat images in the right context, but please not in software documentation where the actual content is what I need to focus on.
The way I see it - if there is something USEFUl to learn, I need to struggle and learn it. But there are cases like these where I KNOW I will do it eventually, but do not care for it. There is nothing to learn. That's where I use them.
