For me, I hope I can have AI write and maintain architecture docs/tutorials for new hires. If some ai documentation tool can help me solve that I'd be happily pay for it.

What's something you want AI to take over from you? and what's something you don't want AI to take over?

Highly regulated sectors spend so much effort maintaining factors with code. Feel a big benefit-cost there.

Otherwise, I prefer writing documentation, but diagrams can get tedious. I’d like to see an estimate of lines changed in a codebase when a structural diagram is changed.

Taxes. I hate that we have to do them at all. I just want to connect AI to my banks and credit cards and let it figure out out exactly which forms to file and what to put in them. Cuz I have no idea...
