I turned off autocomplete in my IDE back in August. Absolutely hate it. I can defer work to an LLM and review it later. I really can't stand autocomplete built into OSX and iOS. Recently, I tried Grammarly as I'm building my own text editor for non-coding use cases, and that is driving me crazy, too. Everything I type is wrong. Some suggestions are generally good - these would be obvious typos or misspellings I simply missed. But a lot of the suggested solutions are subjective.

I like AI use cases where I can offload large tasks and follow up on them to review the output critically. I think there is a ton of opportunity to leverage yourself with AI, as all of the hype posts say you can. But most tools are simply invasive and, to me, the equivalent of social media 'junk food for the mind' where you just turn your brain off and start clicking approve, approve, copy, paste, etc.. as opposed to doom scrolling.

Or worse you delegate an easy task to an LLM agent and start doom scrolling while you wait on it. No bueno.
