Python also uses autogeneration for most of the documentation, but the documentation itself is not fully autogenerated. You write your documentation and you say to Sphinx: put the generated documentation for this module here.

IMO, this is something positive. You can decide the structure of your documentation and include only the most relevant references.

For example, this part of the documentation for the re module is autogenerated from code: https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#module-contents
