I tried it for a couple months (Typescript) in production. It was about 80% accurate, and useful for some snippets, but the 20% of errors were subtle and time consuming to debug. I canceled it.
These days I will occasionally use ChatGpt to ask a coding question (alongside Stack), but automatic AI autocomplete just gets in the way for me. I turn off all autocomplete, generally. The time it saves when it's right is overshadowed by the time it takes to manually fix its errors, especially when it takes me out of the flow.
I don't doubt that it can write higher quality code than I can when properly prompted, but doing so in autocomplete and with a high error rate was more disruptive to this human than helpful. YMMV.
