What will happen to official docs when it becomes clear that the only thing that reads them are llm-training runs?

The LLMs will read the actual source code which is way better than the documentation (as any iOS engineer will tell you). For private codebases the companies can provide custom-trained LLMs. Techniques like "Representation Engineering" will at some point also prevent against accidental leakage of private codebase source code.
Call it a win?
Won't you think of all the technical writers?!
