It depends. I often ask coworkers who are inexperienced in a field to read the docs I write because…well I know I'm bad at it but it still needs to be done. Not that these things are anything LLMs are good at anyways ("observe what is done for procedure X and write instructions"). For example, our release process is finally a viable issue template that walks anyone through the steps of cutting one after having been through a few rounds of not-me using it and making fixes to it.

They actually are pretty good at the explanatory parts. They can’t get the detailed commands right unless it’s very common software, but they can absolutely guess some rather good background and help text. Not, like, better than me, but often as good and in much less time.
