> Llms arem't "there" yet with respect to this sort of thing

Yes, nothing about this is “there yet” which was my point

Why?

For the same reason you don't modify autogenerated files in your source code base. It's easy to get an LLM to just regen the page but once someone tries to edit it you're even farther down the road of what an LLM can't do right now. I wouldn't even trust it to follow one edit instruction, at scale, at that size of document, and if we're going to have humans trying to make multiple edits while the LLM is folding in its own improvements... yeah, the LLMs aren't even remotely ready for that at this point.

That’s a good point. I think it’s a similar problem of why you wouldn’t let a model go wild in your codebase though. If good solutions to how we handle AI models making code changes are found, it seems reasonable to expect they also may be applicable here
