What I would realllly like is AI autocomplete that is somehow sensitive to my mental map of the code I'm writing. There's too often a temptation when writing something brand new to get to a semi working proof of concept as fast as possible with an LLM, but it's now like 1000 lines of code that I really don't understand.

Previously I used to obey a rule that if I ever use LLM generated code, I have to manually type it in - so that I myself have the familiarity of every symbol in the code. This helped considerably reduce that problem. But I stopped doing that out of laziness.
