Note that intelligence/code completion was never about saving keystrokes, so I assume LLMs shouldn’t be either. Code completion has always been about getting a list of things you can do on a particular type, saving you from having to remember everything in your head (and APIs have gotten more numerous as a result). LLM code assistance that I’ve seen is poorly designed in that it usually gives you one most likely choice (so save keystrokes) and doesn’t allow you to browse through a bunch of likely possibilities.
