If the documentation is out of date, such that it doesn't help, this doesn't bode well for the training data of the AI helping it get it right, either?

I often find the opposite. Documentation can be up to date, but AI suggests deprecated or removed functions because there’s more old code than new code. Pgx v5 is a particularly consistent example.
