there are people who attempt to distinguish AI-assisted autocomplete from substantially AI-assisted code from raw braindead Gas Town vibe coding
this is not a useful distinction as they *all* end up at the third one
you can tell when they start posting the *same* hype phrases all the others use
there is no moderation on the krokodil advocacy train
To be entirely fair, there is a bit of accidental nuance here.
If you grab just about any Major IDE today, most of them will have auto-complete or "Intellisense" as Microsoft called it - But if you grab any recent release, you'll also find that they're assisting that Intellisense with an LLM.
So unless you go in and explicitly disable it, you do kinda end up in a situation where you can't ban AI without also specifying that code made with the default settings of a lot of commerical IDE's isn't allowed.
(And honestly as good as IntelliSense is, an LLM helping surface the likely best option to the top is actually kinda helpful?)
That said you can just turn that off - I have.
@davidgerard @dysfun I disagree! The sub-subject was, essentially, is autocomplete an LLM contribution.
And the answer is... It depends.
As for the root subject, sure, you're right, it's off topic, but it is still related to it.
