Yeah, someone made the point in a popular post here recently that all the firings are reducing institutional knowledge. IMHO, replacing that knowledge with LLM-written documentation is even more potentially catastrophic. Just from organizations I've worked in, a lot of the useful human knowledge is in knowing how to handle either undocumented edge cases or situations where the documents are outdated or wrong. Working with LLMs and reminding them to update those docs every time? Good luck. And if it's something where the docs touch actual real world operations, that's an area where only human operators with hands-on experience are going to recognize the potential conflicts or cognitive dissonance.
