Atlassian added this new AI feature to create audio summaries of Confluence documents. It's really impressive. No one reads documentation. I know it because I'll send someone a documentation, then they'll ask me a question that is answered in the second paragraph, meaning they didn't read it.

So their feature is not just text to speech, but a reading of a summarized version of the articles. But here is the problem. The documentation has no fluff. You don't want a summary, you want the actual details. When you are reading the document that describes how the recovery fee is calculated, you want to know exactly how it is calculated.

I've ran it on multiple documents and it misses key information. An unsuspecting user might take it at face value. So this feature looks impressive, but it misses the entire point of documentation. Which is *preserving the details*.

AI reads the docs. For the first time in twenty years I'm actually advocating for more documentation.
