You have to give it to JetBrains that they have a good track record of utilizing some technology in exactly the right way to be useful and not really get in the way. Writing prompts for an AI chatbot to generate code is BS (kills creativity, creates bad and unmaintainable code that’s possibly even encumbered by licenses). But simply assisting you with completing the line you already have in your head mostly anyway…? Sure!

I feel people who complain about LLMs really don’t use them correctly.

I use them a lot at work. But generally as a learning tool or interactive docs rather than a code generator.

I’ve found them to be incredibly useful.
