LLM-style documentation

Today I‘ve been writing documentation for my CLI rendering tool. I had a main README already but I needed to write detailed docs for all major entities the software uses. It‘s totally mind boggling how much of an incredible tool LLMs are for documentation writing. I was able to get done in a day what would likely have taken at least a week by hand, and I think the quality is far higher, because it can read the code directly and make sure it describes things perfectly, complete with neato example code snippets. There are some of the usual signs that an LLM has been used, though I removed some of the more egregious ones. But personally I think the most important thing is that there is a complete set of accurate docs. It‘s not so annoying that is sometimes uses LLM-style. Who cares?
