You think humans will stop being creative?

No... "Bad documentation" isn't wrong, it's difficult to understand - or incomplete. It's then talked about on forums all over the internet.

LLMs can combine all that together and tell you how to use that function you're looking at in the docs without needing to post in a forum, being given wrong advice by 4 different people, being told to re-do everything by that one guy who hates everything, etc. You just get an answer that's "probably helpful" really quickly. And if it's not then you fall back on the standard forums and all the shit you deal with there.

Remember when everyone stopped learning math because of calculators?

The code is good enough - and it's very good at summarizing bad documentation.

It doesn't need to be perfect to be useful else humans would also be useless.
