I like the idea, but there's no mention of error correction, manual review or anything similar. Even at say 99% accuracy, which is not realistic with the current state of the art, that's still countless infrastructure documents that are wrong. Good luck to anyone who gets stuck between a rock and a hard place when these documents diverge from reality in meaningful ways.
