I use Intellij for just about everything and recently it has started giving me nonsense suggestions for autocomplete and whatever the "alt+enter" menu is called.

As it turns out, they installed more plugins that foisted AI assistance onto me *again* even though I have disabled it every time previously.

I am so ready for this gimmick to die.

Bad autocomplete? What model is it? I notice from codeium that it works better with a strict language like C than with a generic language as python where everything is possible

@retoor I have no idea what they are using. Nor do I particularly care.

What I do know is that it slows me down with the nonsense it suggests. No code "AI" has ever been anything other than a hindrance for me and I am sick of it being pushed on me. I will never use it willingly, so please stop trying.

I also don't like that at random my proprietary code is being scanned into some unaccountable commercial Skynet monster without proper authorization or compensation because the company that I bought my IDE from has jumped onto a gimmick train.

@cuddlyogre it's prolly all quite anonymized but my AI often can insert someone's random name as autocomplete. If you would type @google - don't be surprised if it r autocompletes with smth

My big boss realizes that AI reads your code. We are not allowed to put out code into a generic AI model by having someone else's AI read it. My boss is going to have a machine with a model built on our code that is in house. We can use chatgpt for generic questions to produce new ideas for code. But not look at our internal code.

We already have issues with the default code completion software. I cannot imagine one that sends code offsite and gets responses back. That would be painful in our IDE.

@Demolishun Bitcoin Twitter posted a story claiming Microsoft AI reads people's office PDFs and Excel spreadsheets. I can't find the link now buuuut. kind of what I was anticipating

similarly as a general, if you host your code on GitHub... it's not available to the public, but if Microsoft uses private repositories for training, could you even sue them? and if you can't, they might be trying it because corporations are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders, so they can't just leave something like that on the table

I tried Zed editor and I stopped using JetBrains IDE's as a result, try it and see if it works for you.

Do note, it you are writing Java or Kotlin you are fucked and stuck with IntelliJ :/

Edit: Zed is far from perfect and still missing a lot of features, but even in this state I'd rather use it than JB's offerings

@nemetepst notepad++ might do java. I know, that is really really bare bones.

I really wonder how sick are the minds of people who are creating those code AIs. Most of the time you know where you want to go when you stop typing. 90% of autocomplete usage is to do something deterministic. But meanwhile, AI warmongers want you to read to the diarrhoea produced by their monster and loose time. I might try Zed but for now I remain on neovim to avoid all this crap.
