my points about ai get ignored despite my actual programming (also with AI) experience, do they think I’m coping with cognitive dissonance or something?

I do work for a client that uses a very bespoke Linux OS setup that’s been developed over decades. They continue to frown in frustration at how AI doesn’t magically know how to support and debug it and that I continue to have to be paid to do that instead.
It’s almost as if AI ‘knowledge’ isn’t magical but mostly refers to a huge public corpus of troubleshooting, patterns and documentation by humans who already did the actual work and shared it online. Like… a search engine.
If humans didn’t already do it and write extensively about it online, then AI is just completely lost. And continues to confidently spout dangerous and bad information. Because, and I can’t stress this enough, it isn’t magic.
My boss has actually given documentation higher priority after he heard that it’s important for AI to write code. Like docs specifically written for the machine to understand. 🥴
I’ve asked for docs multiple times before after getting asked for input on projects with absolutely no documentation.
Poison pill the docs.
I don’t write those docs. I don’t know what those projects do.
