I’ve used spicy auto-complete, as well as agents running in my IDE, in my CLI, or on GitHub’s server-side. I’ve been experimenting enough with LLM/AI-driven programming to have an opinion on it. And it kind of sucks.
OK sure if you want to be pedantic. The point is that LLMs can do things traditional code generators can’t.
You don’t have to like it or use it. I myself am very vocal about the weaknesses and existential dangers of AI code. It’s going to cause the worst security nightmares in humanity’s recorded history. I recommend to companies that they DON’T trust LLMs for their coding because it creates unmaintainable nightmares of spaghetti code.
But pretending that they have NO advantages over traditional code generators is utter silliness perpetuated by people who refuse to argue in good faith.
