There is 1 particular thing where I think it can be very useful.
That is when looking for relevant documentation.
It has happened to me a few times that despite enough documentation being available I am unable to find the relevant thing because even though the description in the documentation matches what I need to do, I didn’t use the correct keywords required for the search to find the correct class and I ended up using internet search.
If a language model can find relevant patterns and reduce the requirement onto the documentation writers for having to add tags to make search easier, that would be a win.
But of course, no generation of new text. All that is needed is to parse the documentation and examples provided by developers and to provide links to them.
