I briefly tried codeium before disabling it on account of it was using too much CPU and overheating my computer. It's such a completely different experience. Almost the same level of difference as going from something like vanilla Notepad++ to VS Code with all the extensions set up. I still have no interest in using AI for creative writing but definitely want to use it for coding in the future if it becomes practical for low budget projects. I'm not exactly sure it's a great thing for very new beginners, but after that I don't see much issue besides energy use. The stuff it does best is stuff that's basic enough to often do pretty much unconsciously, where it's easy to forget to pay full attention (Or get burnt out fast from paying close attention) and make pretty simple and boring bugs. I guess only time will tell how one's skills and habits change after a few years with AI, maybe people will start zoning out and not fully supervising the code it writes.
