At least, @jetbrains made the new AI stuff in #IntelliJ opt-in.

Most of the listed „AI“ features trigger red flags in me. My personal experience with AI programming tools is:

Nice for beginners, but a waste of time for most experienced devs.

they aren’t able to understand a large, complex code base grown over a decade.

Sure, a relatively smart code completion is nice. But I don’t have a problem with typing faster, I need to make additions and changes at the right place in a very complex system. Nothing a statistics-based tool can really of help.

So please #Jetbrains, make sure the AI stuff stays off by default, thank me later.
