The real takeaway is that documentation written for clarity is better for everyone — human or machine!
In other words, AI use is reinforcing what good documentation has always required: clear structure, explicit language, sensible headings, and fewer assumptions about what the reader already knows. That’s good for machines, sure, but it’s even better for people navigating with assistive tech, reading in a second language, or simply trying to get an answer quickly.
AI has not invented new rules for writing, it has made the cost of ignoring the old ones obvious.
