I really do wonder who these engineers are, that the current 'AI' tools are able to write so much of their code.
Maybe my situation is unusual; I haven't written all that much code at Google lately, but what I do write is pretty tied to specific details of the program and the AI auto completion is just not that useful. Sometimes it auto completes a method signature correctly, but it never gets the body right (or even particularly close).
And it routinely making up methods or fields on objects I want to use is anti productive.
