> There is research [1] that suggests using GPS navigation could impact your brain function negatively. I wonder how this code generation “assistant” will impact the coding skills of its users in long term.

I wonder how code completion and syntax highlighting have altered the brains of programmers negatively as well.

Have you never seen a project where exactly one use of a term is mistyped across whole project? Guess what tool is responsible for that.

Also there's distinct project structure difference between users of tree style project navigation vs find-anywhere or editor tabs vs modal windows/buffers. I mean, the influence is not negative, at least not obviously, but the deformation is there.
