I've been choosing not to use most of the AI code assistant stuff for a while, I try it every now and then. Each time it's the same outcome, it actively reduces my productivity by a fair amount. I suspect this is due to a mix of the majority of my programming being non-trivial (library building, complex-ish algos), and that I'm a bit of a perfectionist coder who enjoys programming.

LLMs are useful tools for programming, as a kind of search engine and squeaking rubber duck. AI as a programmer is worse than a junior, it's the junior that won't actively learn and improve. I think current AI architecture limits it from being much more than that.
