I don't use the autocomplete very often. I do use the chat window to do rubber ducking about potential changes. I ask it about features of the libraries I'm using, the built-in features of the language, ways to restructure the code, various suggested improvements to the algorithms and so forth. After a short discussion about various options, I'll ask you to generate code which I use either as a reference or verbatim. For me rubber ducking and discussions are much more valuable than generating little bits of code using autocomplete.
The next interaction mode I want is to have the AI as a pair programming partner, making comments as I type code, including suggestions and pointing out potential errors, and allowing me to ask questions. That is, similar to the rubber ducking, except that I'd like it to interject comments at the right moments automatically.
