« AutoGPT engineers » seem to also generate their articles with LLM, making their documentation awful to grok. For instance, after showing 2 commands, we have to suffer this: Forge your future! The forge is your innovation lab. All the boilerplate code is already handled, letting you channel all your creativity into building a revolutionary agent. It's more than a starting point, it's a launchpad for your ideas. In our exploration today, we’ve covered the essentials of working with AutoGPT projects. We began by laying out the groundwork, ensuring you have all the right tools in place. From there, we delved into the specifics of building an effective AutoGPT agent. Trust me, with the right steps, it becomes a straightforward process.

The doc is littered of those paragraphs. Remove the fat! Go to the point! YOLO, that’s a freaking waste of life cycles!

Don't read the intermediate representation. The idea is that you use an LLM to summarize those comments into human readable text.
nobody else finds this ridiculous? That just means when i search for the actual source of truth (when llm eventually hallucinates) that it takes longer to find the answer im looking for. This fluff doesnt add any value for anyone, not even the LLM
aw geez, now we have to compile docs, too?!

I doubt it's generated with an LLM. LLMs are much too easy to get to generate much higher quality text then the one you quoted.
You good LLMs, that's probably not what worked on this.
I am pretty you can get there by doing a print, scan, OCR and then translate it to and from a foreign language and voila.
probably generated with a 7B model
Ironic that boilerplate code is removed but boilerplate copy is introduced to replace it.
