In my experience, the only people who benefit from good documentation are the highly competent. The corporate slugs who need Stack Overflow and GitHub Copilot to accomplish anything are still going to bother others every single day. At best you can point them to the documentation when this happens, but if their problem differs even slightly from what is documented, they will need additional hand holding. They also love to use the lack of documentation as an excuse for why they can't get things done, but then expect others to figure things out without documentation for them. If you write documentation, they still won't read it and will remain helpless.
