I fear the consequences will be even darker:

- Users are confused by autogenerated docs and don’t even want to try using a project because of it

- Real curated project documentation is no longer corrected by users feedback (because they never reach it)

- LLMs are trained on wrong autogenerated documentation: a downward spiral for hallucinations! (Maybe this one could then force users go look for the official docs? But not sure at this point…)

On this, I think, we should have some kind of AI-generated meta-tag, like this: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/9479

I wonder what incentives for adherence to the use of this meta-tag might exist? For example, imagine I send you my digital resume and it has an AI-generated footer tag on display? Maybe a bad example- I like the idea of this in general, but my mind wanders to the fact that large entities completely ignored the wishes of robots.txt when collecting the internet's text for their training corpuses

Large entities aside, I would use this to mark my own generated content. Would be even more helpful if you could get the LLM to recognise it which would allow you to prevent ouroboros situations.

Also, no one is reading your resume anymore and big corps cannot be trusted with any rule as half of them think the next-word-machine is going to create God.
