I use the jetbrains product line for my professional work. They now come with a AI code completion assistant, which will 50-80% of the time, depending on the type of project, suggest something wrong, which I either have to spend energy to evaluate and then ignore. The rare cases where it does suggest something useful don't make up for the time an energy wasted having to deal with the completion. AI in this case is detrimental to productivity and attention to the code. It's more useless than useful.
