Very much agree. AI autocomplete is the best thing ever, because it spares you from having to read the docs but it's few enough lines that you can review and make sure it does what you intended.

It won't write big chunks, so it won't hinder your learning.

So you are telling me you can always properly infer what the "black boxes" the AI auto-completed for you does without reading the documentation?

I bet you are most likely just blindly trusting the AI response and moving on. Sure, the code structure might checkout and the calls it completed are sometimes fairly generic/predictable, but there will be plenty of situations where the behavior is just different enough or the black boxes are something you have no idea about what it even does and you are too lazy to check the docs and commit the code anyway.

It made me dumb after a few years. Personally, I started to forget how to do things manually. I'm programming in 4 languages, and I literally forgot some of the syntax. It takes much more mental energy to type things quickly without assistance.

I've disabled it.
