Uh… Sorry but no, LLMs are definitely fast enough. It works just like auto complete, except sometimes it’s a genius that pulls the next few lines you were about to write out of the ether, and sometimes it makes up a library to do something you never asked for
Mostly it works about as well as code completion software, but it’ll name variables much better
I believe you that genAI is being used for code suggestions, but I wouldn’t call it a genius.
This is anecdotal but over the last couple of years I’ve noticed Visual Studio’s autocomplete went from suggesting exactly what I wanted more often than not to just giving me hot garbage today. Like even when I’m 3-4 lines in to a very obvious repeating pattern it’ll suggest some nonsense variation on it that’s completely useless. Or just straight making up variable and function names that don’t exist, or suggesting inputs to function calls that don’t match the signature. Really basic stuff that any kind of rules-based system should have no problem with.
