AI-powered code completion tools go beyond just auto-suggestions in IDEs, significantly speeding up the coding process. While some developers argue that these systems reduce error rates and shorten the learning curve, others believe that automated suggestions could degrade code quality and stifle creativity. In your experience, have these tools boosted productivity or fostered dependency? When is it most sensible to use them, and how can we mitigate potential risks? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, what are your views on standardizing such tools within a team? Could establishing a common policy ensure everyone benefits equally?

I recently integrated GitHub Copilot into VS Code for a small project; at first, auto-completion made coding feel much faster, but for some complex logic, manual debugging still took a lot of time.
Thanks, the topic was really interesting. Seriously, when I try these tools, their suggestions sometimes turn out to be very accurate—what IDE do you prefer?
