AI "auto-complete" or "code suggestions" is the worst, especially if you are in a strongly-type language because it's 80% correct and competing with an IDE that can be 100% correct.

AI agents are much better for me because 1) they don't constantly interrupt your train of thought and 2) they can run compile, run tests, etc. to discover they are incorrect and fix it before handing the code back to you.
