My feelings exactly, but I think that's OK!
It's another tool and one that might actually improve with time. I don't see GNU's man pages getting any better spontaneously.
Whoa, what if they started to use AI to auto-generate man pages...
I already generate man pages (and POD) with Claude for my new projects. :D
It works really well.
Any links you wanna share? I've never seen an AI generated man page.
They are not public projects, but man pages and their README.md is generated albeit refined through prompts.
It is not simply a "generate man page" without context.

Then they'd be wrong about 20% of the time, and still no one would read them. ;-)
(NB: I'm of the age that I do read them, but I think I'm in the minority.)

That’s the time to start my career in woodworking.
