I am not particularly bothered by the speed but the AI suggestion clutter is quickly becoming an issue for me :( I type fragments of a line and it will suggest the next 5-6 lines. They may not be outright wrong, but they might not represent the way I like to do things. Pressing Esc. and refocusing on what I was going to type in anyway is a disruptive experience.

I don't love that the AI suggestions seem to override completion of real/existing methods from the source code these days.

Turn it off; it makes a brilliant IDE unusable.

+1 I disabled all that and assigned a shortcut to: Call Inline Completion

I should go back to this (like some of the other comments suggest) - I think there is potential in suggesting multiple lines, and I would have really loved it to work, but it is clear that their ux testing was poor.

So why don't you turn it off? Toggling this is really easy.

In JetBrains I limit AI suggestions to just the rest of the line I'm currently writing, tends to work a lot better for me. I also use the older ML models.

I use VSCode more often than PyCharm nowadays (same reasons as TFA, it's just too heavy), but unless something has changed in the last couple of months, you can disable the AI completions

For me, it's outright wrong half the time. But subtly wrong, the worst kind of wrong. At least in the month I kept it on for Rustrover while I was trying it out.

I just turned it off immediately in Rider in my professional work.. There's no specific AI policy for my client, but I'd rather not risk anything for now; I'll take full responsibility for any code I make on the dime.

I’ve seen people code like this and it looks maddening. A sure fire way to break the state of flow and be distracted by nonsense.
