I've said this a few times on HN: why don't we use LLMs to generate documentation? But then came the naysayers ...

Useful documentation explains why the code does what it does. Ie. why is this code there?

An LLM can't magically figure out your motivation behind doing something a certain way.

Tell it the why of the API and ask it to write individual function and class docs then.
