I insta-banned this site in Kagi. The trigger for me: utter disrespect for the user with unhideable glassy floating chatbox at the bottom of the page.
And WTF with these floating boxes popping up everywhere?!? They are tailor-made to trigger anxiety in people with OCD. They look like a notification that keep grabbing your attention as you scroll the text. Example: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/secure-eks-clusters-with-th...
I took a look at a project I maintain[0], and wow. It's so wrong in every section I saw. The generated diagrams make no sense. The text sections take implementation details that don't matter and present them to the user like they need to know them. It's also outdated.
I hope actual users never see this. I dread thinking about having to go around to various LLM generated sites to correct documentation I never approved of to stop confusing users that are tricked into reading it.
Likewise, I tested this with a project we're using at work (https://deepwiki.com/openstack/kayobe-config) and at first it seems rather impressive until you realize the diagrams don't actually give any useful understanding of the system. Then, asking it questions, it gave useful seeming answers but which I knew were wholly incorrect. Worse than useless: disorienting and time-wasting.
This worked well for me for some things I've recently been learning/working on. One improvement I'd add is the citations of where information have come from aren't hyperlinks it would be very useful if they were!
This doesn't work. It's better to prompt an agent with specific questions per subject. Having this general AI interpretation of a doc can be amazingly misleading. Nice idea, but unfortunately absolutely useless and even time wasting at the moment.
How many errors does that contain - anyone knows stats for that?
I see "AI summaries" on github all the time. It's like a wall of
text and seems to be designed to be super-verbose but without
seemingly being very informative.
Looks like it's impossible for me to use this service - when I try to submit the form, I get a reCAPTCHA challenge. By the time I complete it (Google requires me to make several attempts, each one being several pages), the page errors out in the background with "reCAPTCHA execution timeout".
This is an interesting threads. There are many instances of "this is bad, doesn't work, don't like it", and many instances of "it works reasonably well here, look: <url>".
I tried it with my repo and it is actually really nice. I kind of want to link to this so that anyone wanting to make contributions to my repo can learn about the code structure.

it's the first result on google for just about anything technical I search for
And if a human spent painstaking effort writing excellent docs, the least bit of respect i can give them is read it.

Cool idea, bad timing

Seems like a consistent pattern.
My repo has a plugin structure (https://github.com/ytreister/gibr), and I love how it added a section about adding a new plugin: https://deepwiki.com/ytreister/gibr/7.4-adding-a-new-issue-t...
