This is a very common effect and I don't want to be defending LLMs here. But I've seen the same study with CLIs - people using them feel more productive but take longer than using GUIs.

What I want to say is that it's very situational and it's likely good to focus on the average. Using LLMs as docs are bad when good docs exist, but if you aren't sure if they do, it's a gamble. A much better approach would be to have somebody pre-create and edit the docs with an LLM for each service with bad docs.

Only when your situation isn't covered would it make sense to create new docs.

I hope that this isn't the case for me poking around in vim, using ctags etc. But sadly it may be true.
