Hooray, I can replace accurate auto-complete with imaginary LLM suggestions! I use copilot and static types. Both are useful for auto-complete - traditional auto-complete gives accurate results with documentation popups; copilot gives higher level suggestions that are frequently nonsense (but right enough to be useful still).
In any case static types have many advantages, not just auto-complete. There's:
* refactoring
* finding references
* go to definition
* documentation
* bug prevention
LLMs are a million miles from being able to do any of that stuff automatically.
