I think I might have mentioned before that I subscribe to a fantastic publishing industry newsletter called The Hot Sheet. Well worth my sixty bucks a year for stuff like this.
It seems extremely likely (to me) that all technical reference manuals will wind up like that too. No one reads the manual anymore (TM), but having a potted expert on hand that you could ask specific questions of? That seems really useful. Depends entirely on what it costs, of course. I don't expect to have to pay domain-expert telephone assistance rates for such a thing, more like an increment over the book itself. Guess we'll have to see how that shakes out.
(AI data center energy costs might overtake cryptocurrency data center energy costs in the next couple of years, but both are still dwarfed by the incremental growth of the rest of the data center business over the same time.)
I am more disappointed that the industry newsletter didn't take the opportunity to call it 'Holy Sheet'.

Getting an AI search bot for JSTOR articles would be a game changer for uni students everywhere
"Maven, i can't remember the exact details of Miguel Pieraro's timeline. Can you give me the details please"
"John, i'm sorry, i'm still dealing with it personally, remember it yourself you bastard"
This. This is the rubbish I won't have to put up with when I've finally replaced you all with bots.
lol
We've already proved you can't automate your typos so you're stuck with me 😇
