It's the second half of the title that is problematic.
I use an AI code assistant for my own code, but would not do it professionally, without customer approval or corporate policy. I have mixed feelings about it, regardless. I think it might be slowing my learning a bit and I question how "Pythonic" the solutions provided are, but on the other hand, I'm learning Python, so ... I dunno.

I'm glad they're doing this. When they announced the decision to pursue an AI code assistant, all I could think was "wow so I can pay a similar amount of money that I would pay for GitHub copilot, but only be able to use it with jet brains products." What a baffling waste of dev time and resources.

The heavy handed way it was introduced was so poorly thought out.
Had they made the announcement and shown how it was better than GH Copilot, I'd have been curious to try it out. I want to use the most effective tool for the job. Instead I'm feeling pretty bitter and want their junk removed.
