Interesting and semi-related idea: use LLMs to flag when comments/docs have come out of sync with the code.
The big problem with documentation is that if it was accurate when it was written, it's just a matter of time before it goes stale compared to the code it's documenting. And while compilers can tell you if your types and your implementation have come out of sync, before now there's been nothing automated that can check whether your comments are still telling the truth.

Somebody could make a startup out of this.
