I use whatever line completion is built into JetBrains out of the box. Other than that, no AI whatsoever.
Only about 10% of my time at work is actually spent writing code. At least double that time is spent reading code, and the rest is documentation, coordination, and communication work that depends on precise understanding of the code I’m responsible for. If I let AI write code, maybe (doubtfully) that would save a little time out of the 10%, but it would cost me dearly in the other two categories. The code I write by hand is minimal, clear, and easy to understand, and I understand it better because I wrote it myself. I understand all the code around it, too.
If you ask me, AI code generation is based entirely on non-programmers’ incorrect understanding of what programming is.
