In my experience, if I'm looking how to do something pretty standard with an API I'm unfamiliar with, it's usually correct and faster than trying to trawl through bad, build-generated documentation that would rather explain every possible argument than show a basic example.
And in the case it's wrong, I will know pretty quickly and can fall back to the old methods.

A tool that gives me 17 out of 11 API calls from a vague textual description of my intent would be incredibly useful.

It's definitely been said before, but the fact that they're calling out these non-existent functions in the first place can tell library devs a lot about what new features could be there to take up the namespace.
