This isn't an attack on anyone in bioinformatics, but rather frustration at how LLM slop has made it increasingly difficult to learn how to use a new package without resorting to using said LLMs, which half the time provide completely incorrect information.

We're (largely) a bunch of biologists attempting computer science writing long rambly documentation, or computer scientists attempting biology writing concise guides with many features not documented well enough for us biologists. There were once good, easy to find guides to help. They're now buried

Sorry for the sass, I'm just sick of seeing articles in what I thought were reputable journals, painting a canvas of futuristic AI as the Messiah that will save us from war, climate change, famine and disease "soon" with "PhD level knowledge".
