Nah mate, its shit for autocomplete. Before LLMs autocomplete was better with a simple dictionary weighted to use percentage.

I've found it better than the weighted dictionary for prose, and way better for code. Code autocompletion was always really limited, but now every couple dozen lines it suggests exactly what I was going to type anyway. Never on anything particularly clever, mind you, but it saves some tedium.

It also sometimes halucinates entire libraries and documentation and is single handedly responsible for massive sector wide average vulnerabilities increase.

Did you make sure to subtract all of that negative value before you even considered it as "good"?

Oh, it's fucking horrible at writing entire codebases. I'm talking about specifically tab completion. You still have to read what it's suggesting, just like with IntelliSense and other pre-LLM autocomplete tools, but it sometimes finishes your thoughts and saves you some typing.

Hard agree. Whole codebase in AI is a nightmare. I think MS's 25% is even WAY too much, based on how shitty their products are becoming. But for autocompleting the line of code I'm writing? It's fucking amazing. Doesn't save any thought, but saves a while bunch of typing!

I don't think the aforementioned vulnerabilities were caused by the AI writing entire codebases.
