    We use it at work and I now have disabled it for all the typeahead stuff. Far too many times it guesses what I am doing incorrectly and it made using my TAB key (which inserts the propper two spaces) impossible.

    The only place I still use it is for reading and identifying compiler errors. Even then it is only about 50% correct as most times it falls into the “Oh you are right, X isn’t the solution. Have you tried X?” I have had few bad interns and even they were smart enough to not forget what they said in their previous sentence.

      This is why I’ve never tossed any of the developer bookmarks

      I’ve been training new hires how to look stuff up on stack and dictionaries to fix code that went wrong after AI mucked it up. They aren’t even being trained to parachute in school.

      What a sad time line we are in.
