We're yet to genuinely standardise bloody help texts for basic commands (Does -h set the hostname, or does it print the help text? Or is it -H? Does --help exist?). Writing man-pages seems like a lost art at this point, everyone points to $WEBSITE/docs (which contains, as you guessed, LLM slopdocs).

Are you describing under-engineered AI integrations, or just the general state of CLIs for decades now?

Yeah, with 44 years of experience working with CLIs, this is just the general state of CLIs for decades now.
