Very true. Generated docs will never be able to do that part.

That being said from what I've seen at work (and I think other people experience the same), the bar is not that high. Meaning if the LLM generated documentation was able to explain what is happening without the "why" that would already be a significant improvement.

I’d imagine it wouldn’t be hard to have a kind of hybrid method. The developer comments the code for a reason, and ai can expound on that comment if necessary.
