Hm that's strange. I have 300mbit here and the entire WASM blob is 30mb, it really should go through fast. It's hosted by Deno as a WebSocket proxy and file server.
I'm wondering if it's mostly the WASM setup itself (after transfer).
I got a chuckle over this, but in my experience working on legacy systems, this is the case already. Using AI to translate/explain the code brings extra understanding.
Yes, it would take a long time for humans to remake a documentation from the codebase itself, but AI could do that much quicker and with close to perfect accuracy, Code is superior to documentation as it's the direct intended behavior (including bugs), in a sense, we won't even need documentation in the future, except maybe to lower AI costs.
If what you want is the "Why", you're right it probably won't get it right. It'll just give you baseless speculation. But if what you want is the "What" or the "How", I think it can be useful.
Whilst true, it's not without its gotchas, and I saw a video the other day that elegantly highlights this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6MAZW-joCo. A false sense of confidence is bad; one that is offloaded onto somebody else is another.
