Meanwhile Ruby is dropping like crazy on TIOBE. TIOBE has tons of issues, I get it, but the underlying message is that Ruby is struggling immensely, for many reasons (and has been for a while). The language is still great as-is, but if there is no solution to lack of new developers, ruby will just follow perl's path to extinction. AI is not going to save ruby here; quite the opposite. More AI will mean less quality overall. The AI generated documentation is useless gibberish. It's not even an improvement over lacking documentation in the first place, which many ruby projects also have as an issue.
