Does this mean "AI was used as a fancy autocomplete"? Because that's my number 1 use case for AI like copilot, and if that's the case, over 25% of my code is written by AI. But let me tell you, it still gets it wrong, repeatedly making the same syntax errors no matter how many times I correct it. It starts to get it right, then later reverts to making the same syntax errors, even making up variable names that violate widely known public APIs.
Auto complete is about... 60% helpful and increases my productivity with about 5-10% as I need to double check everything it does and half the time it's something ridiculously stoopid
Agreed. It's really shit for new code, but if I'm writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.
