Not really. I could imagine AI-integrated docs pages being useful just from the huge volume of information available and how overwhelming it can be to learn something new.

I've used plenty of AI tools and models, local and paid, agents and chatbots, and the hallucination problem is a huge roadblock every time. I treat it like an autocomplete and I babysit its output because I have to. It just can't be trusted to give a correct answer.

I think LLMs being good at producing language is a trap. The chatbot interface is the obvious product to build around it, but it just sucks right now.
