I use AI coding assistants every day and while they're helpful, they're nothing more than a glorified autocomplete.

- kleiba 2y agoI beg to differ. No autocomplete in the traditional sense can take a human language description of something you want to achieve and produce code that implements just that. Or at least, some version of that. And if you're not happy, you can refine - either by hand, or by having a dialog with the AI. You can also give it buggy code and it can critique it. That's an order of magnitude more advanced than autocomplete.
