From what I have seen LLMs are the worst (by far) in terms of gained productivity. I'd rate the simple but type correct auto complete higher than what I get from the "AI" (code that makes little sense and/or doesn't comply)

I wish my ide would type correct the llm. When the funchion doesn't exist look for one with a similar name (often case is differnt or someother thing), also show me the prarmeter option because the llm never gets order right and often skips one.

Supermaven recently suggested that I comment a new file with “This file belongs to {competitor’s URL}.” So, it’s definitely not at the point you can just blindly follow it.

That said, it’s a really nice tool. AI will probably be part of most developer’s toolkits moving forward the way LSP and basic IDE features are.

We had a case where a salt and a password for a connection were the suggested code. We could not find them with a web search, though.
