There were a couple times it helped me figure out something I was struggling with if I remember. Either that or I mixed it up with something else entirely. I think it was either when I was learning to use Quickshell to make widgets, or it was something with NixOS. For Nix it wouldn’t surprise me since the documentation lives in ten different places.

The more I used it, the more I realized that it actually wasn’t that good. Realizing that it was AI made my experience make more sense. Since there’s an element of randomness to AI output, once in a while it actually does a decent job just by chance. The more you use it, the more you realize that the average is much worse than those few lucky times. I guess I got lucky with the first couple pages I read.

This is how I felt discovering that DeepWiki is AI generated. I just thought some group was just working towards improving the state of more niche software documentation.

I didn’t even think about it until you mentioned it, but I’ve had several college assignments where I’m tasked with asking an LLM a question regarding the course, and then I have to write about what I learned from it. I still have to find sources supporting or refuting the output, so we’re not expected to take the output as truth at least. And these aren’t CompSci courses either. It’s common core cultural intelligence stuff.

When they talk about AI taking over the world, it’s always about taking over the Internet and connected industrial machines. No one told me that AI was going to take over the collective consciousness first.
