> It would constitute signalling possibility the whole effort is superficial

Our company has been developing many core projects for years and one among them is our in-house database Dip. Hiring a writer or spending engineer's time on Dip's docs raises operational cost. Mentality like this gets a startup killed.

Dip's code is pure 100% human written and scrutinized by AI where appropriate. Docs are AI generated and we have it proof-read for correctness. Developers care about documentation being correct and vetted by the people who built the system.

Bitching about docs being AI slop is nothing but virtue signaling.
