Interesting.

I also use AI assistants when coding, but saying “adapt or get left behind” at this point in time is inappropriate behavior. With the current quality of AI assistants, they clearly have downsides. They still produce way to many plain wrong results, cannot admit when they don’t know something, which is a huge problem for beginner programmers. Then again for very experienced programmers, they mostly produce extremely average code quality, which could very well decrease the quality of the resulting code that is produced. Sure they make you faster for repetitive tasks, they are a way better rubber duck, but we should not shame people who are sceptical of the current wave of AI.

Edit: The comment I am referring to was removed. To keep it positive, I also have found the IntelliJ AI Assistant to have improved a lot recently :slightly_smiling_face:
