Is fancy code completion really worth it ?

Of credible AI horror stories I think this is about as bad as it gets !

I'm sticking with the "legacy" Keil IDE for C coding on ARM - it may be a little slower but at least I'm fairly sure that nothing gets into my code that I didn't put there !

    AI is still at the scary stage where it cannot be trusted, but you absolutely need to figure out how to make it work in order to stay competitive from a productivity point of view.

    There will be many companies that forbid the use of AI because the risks are too high.

    There will be companies that use AI and run into costly or disastrous situations.

    There will be companies that successfully figure out how to leverage AI to improve productivity and corporate performance by at least an order of magnitude.

    There is no question which companies will win in the end.

    You forgot about the companies that will exploit AI to make their competitors look bad. "It's not enough to win, you have to make everyone else look foolish for trying..."

    Fake news seems to be a popular application for AI. Perps don't even care if the AI is hallucinating.
