I really don't understand why all of the demos for the latest AI coding tools contain a part where the tool is asked to generate documentation based on... not much.

Looking at the doc strings generated in the video I don't see how these add any value to the code on screen. Surely there are better us-cases than that.

The comments play to the strengths of LLMs – they're just text transformation and don't need any understanding of why to look passably impressive on first glance.
