A large proportion of code written a quarter century ago was also in part AI generated. IntelliSense is AI and it's been around since the 90s.


I would argue intellisense is far closer to a select statement than "ai" anything. What could come after myString.s is <<select method_name from all_methods where type_name = 'String' and method_name like '%s%'>> where some IDEs prefer <<like 's%'>> and others the <<contains>> style

IJ does some truly stellar introspection to offer sane defaults in the current completion context, such as offering only variables of the correct type for parameters but I think of that as discipline and not AI. Plus, IJ never once made up an API that didn't exist
