Completely slopped up website, zero human touch. I would even go so far as to call them a hyprocrite, for getting AI to do all that for them instead of, you guessed it, training a junior engineer to do it.
or maybe it's just that I can't imagine people actually putting their time into reading this all when they pick up on the LLMisms. maybe they'll just stop reading these articles altogether
The only thing that changed recently is that producing documents is now easier than ever.
I'm more convinced by the day that there's a significant amount of undiagnosed or uncontrolled ADHD fueling all the stupid moves.
Corporate world is obsessed with producing text to unhealthy degree. AI generation is the result, not the cause.
Believe it or not, that's what the majority of the business thinks about software code too, and you're only further proving my point.
Ironically, the documents that would actually help people doing work are often missing and/or incomplete and there's never budget to write them properly - up-to-date descriptions of processes, product manuals, API references beyond what's automatically generated, troubleshooting guides for common problems, onboarding materials, and so on. But somehow we have dedicated people to write detailed five year plans that never get completed and such. I can't help but wonder if ease of writing rather than usefulness is the core determinant of what gets written.
