I’ve been using it the last month. It’s autocomplete and does what autocomplete should. It doesn’t guess utterly insane shit like certain other tools.
I have a completely different experience from yours: it would import random packages or rules and suggest stupid shit that made me disable the feature after less than 10 minutes of use. And again and again after IDE updates would re-enable the feature!
When I first read the headline, my first 2 assumptions where:
- another AI driven development, which writes multiple lines and assumes complete logic and what you want to do
- dependent on the internet
After your comment (I can’t verify, but assume you are serious) sounds actually good if its just trying to autocomplete stuff. I have yet to see any AI driven autocomplete system that does just that. But the other fact (according to the article) is, it’s not dependent on the internet. This is huge! One of the biggest downsides of AI tools is, that they rely on the internet to send data back and forth.
Unfortunately this is closed source. And when I stop paying subscription, while being addicted and dependent to it, would be bad for me. I get it, its a buisness model and they have to make money without others stealing or using their products for free. But I am super curious to where this leads and if this tech is truly better than its competitor. Sorry for my rambling.
They address that bad wording on subscription in the comments in that blog. If you have a fallback license to v. 2024.1 or newer the feature will stay active even if you stop your subscription.
Finally someone going for the right approch with AI.
Reading the notes makes me think tools like Jedi would be reclassified as AI? What am I missing? Was Intellisense AI all along?
Edit: SublimeCodeIntel was the tool I was trying to think of that wasn’t MS. How are these different?
