Comment on Is ChatGPT autocomplete bad UX/UI?parent

Comments

Yeah, I had to disable it for non-code formats like Wikitext, Markdown etc. Seeing the autocomplete suggestions made me feel dumber, like I was getting railroaded into lower quality thoughts or expressions of thoughts.

Mostly I use comments for prompting code, so it's also not very useful for it to be auto-completing comments there.

The one time that it was incredible helpful was when I was writing JSDoc for a library. It was so fast at generating documentation and especially examples, it turned the task from something I would probably never have done due to tedium, to something I knocked over in 20 minutes.
