Yep, yet another post on AI and the future of content creation.

Looking at it from a different angle - what if AI could search your internal docs, and help you problem-solve? Aka help you exploit past knowledge to inform future decisions?

The hope: GPT will democratize creation, not fill the internet with shitty articles.

I look forward to most tech writing done with AI. Writing documentation and requirements requires a lot of effort to keep consistent and up to date. Having an AI look at your code and config and then write a nice report will easily beat 99% of all tech docs in companies.

Democratize creation and filling the internet with shitty articles are synonymous. Not that this is a problem or a particularly scary prospect, bookstores are already filled to the brink with garbage, it's just a game of numbers at this point.

Searching your internal docs is an interesting one, but it's still unclear what this can do that grep can't. The leap forward would be ability to reason autonomously, but we're as far from that as we've ever been.

Yep that’s the first great use case I’ve thought of - looking through all the documents in a group and answering a specific question. Also can imagine multi step pipelines driven by answers to previous questions.
