    That's nice, but I think most ripgrep users today will just ask ChatGPT rather than read the docs.

    The still-standing use case for AI-generated human-facing docs is to help humans build mental models, and to give them a bird's eye view of what's possible with a technology, a semantic map of sorts. But reference info - that is probably not one of the use cases any more.

      Its funny to say this just in this particular case because surely like a substantial amount of the money/tokens you're spending on your AI thing is probably just it running rg and reading its output.

    A pile of AI slop about a pile of AI slop. I don’t feel like I need to spend more effort criticizing this pointless endeavor than the prompts of this blog post put into it.
