> A lot of time has historically been put into having really good, human-readable docs but I'm wondering if that will shift.

I hope not. The state of documentation in general is already distressing. Making it even less aimed at people can only make it worse.

We shouldn't be worsening things in order to cater to LLMs. LLMs, if there is even a kernel of truth in all the hype, should be able to make good use of human-centered documentation.

True, good documentation is a rare thing. If the hype does hold and the current trajectory of things stays somewhat the same, I think it will be inevitable that the definition of "good documentation" will change. If it were geared towards a machine audience, I wonder if it would increase reliability and reduce hallucination.

I could imagine a hybrid approach as well where there are two versions: one for humans and one for machines. If respected, the crawlers could look for a special <meta> tag of sorts that points them to the machine version.
