Okay, I get it, that AI is as only good as the input and if it is fed
garbage, it can only spout garbage
(wish that there was someway to clue the investors into this fact)

A few years ago, I took my Linux OS which is openSuse Leap v15.3 or so
and ran a check on the documentation such as the man1 through man9
pages
(run the %man man command to pull all this up) versus the actual
executables on the system.
I was surprised to find < 15% of the command executables were
documented. Naturally I was hoping for something like 50% to 75%.
If I am going to talk to an AI program, such as ChatBot or one of the
newer popular AI program and ask it to generate the documentation for
the complete OS, what AI chatbot would you choose?
My idea is to clue the AI program into the actual OS, then ask it to
finish documenting 100% of all the executables, or report to me all
executables which have no available documentation at all, period.
This means the AI program would scour the internet for any and all
documentation for each command, and there are 10,000's of
executables to
examine. (which is why I believe this is an AI task)
Your thoughts?

That would be an interesting experiment to see what it comes up with.
I would question the results simply due to the quality of current LLM
implementations.
From recent anecdotal experience, I recently bought an expensive
Logitech keyboard and it was behaving strangely so I tried to look up
how to perform a "factory reset" for this model. The search results I
found via DDG were interesting, there were multiple duplicate hits
for what appeared to be a tech blog with generic instruction pages
for my device. However there were multiple iterations of this page,
for this keyboard model, each of which had instructions referencing
physical features that do not exist on this actual keyboard. These
appeared to be AI generated help pages that were clogging up actual
search results. They were very well written, If I hadn't had the
actual device in front of my I might have actually believed that
there was a pinhole reset button next to the USB port.
If you do this, you may need to find a way to define a "web of trust"
that allows the AI to differentiate between human written articles,
and AI written summaries. As it is right now, you might find yourself
telling an AI to summarize help pages that are AI written summaries of
AI written summaries of (
AI written summaries of (
AI written summaries of (
AI written summaries of (actual manuals)
)
)
)
Recursion FTW! :)
It seems inevitable that the AI serpent will stupidly eat its tail and
devolve into even more of a stochastic septic tank than it is now. If
I was an investor, I would be shorting hard into the AI bubble. To me,
the only open question is whether humans get stupider faster than the
machines.
