Re: JetBrains forces AI freemium plugin that cannot be completely removed into IDEs
#2A few days ago JetBrains put in their answer to other coding AI assistants into their IDES, but decided on top of the nags for their new paid service have made it so it can't be completely removed.
If you try to do the normal thing and uninstall or disable it, it appears to just reinstall itself or continues with nags.
I'll say nothing on work environments where code cannot be sent anywhere for security and privacy purposes, but this is just openly hostile user behavior from a company that used to do relatively well.
Shame on you JetBrains

#3I thought it was going to be part of my subscription. Lost my trust in JetBrains after seeing I needed to do some extra-steps to remove it.

Did you manage to remove/disable it completely? If so, how did you do it?

#5I tested this out and I'm not very impressed. It's a chatbot that has limited access to your source code (the file you have open I believe). The AI doesn't have a complete picture of your project and it would probably be too expensive to ingest thousands of lines of code. The code it generates is... what you come to expect from a coding assistant. It's hit and miss, and it needs heavy refactoring. It feels like this doesn't add too much value to the already existing tooling and Jetbrains should have waited for something better. The current way of prominently pushing it strait to production seems rather unfortunate. I've disabled the plugin.

This is what every company is doing in the name of integrating "Gen AI".
90% of it is chat bots. And in 90% of those places I dont want a chat bot.

#7I feel the same way with AWS Q on the console. It refuses to stop nagging me.

Like the grocery store chat bot that recommended mixing bleach and ammonia for a "fresh scent!"

#10I recently started to learn a new programming language and was thinking that CoPilot etc would help me in that regard. I was surprised to find the opposite: whenever I would pause to think about a solution, AI would be polluting my editor with suggestions and completely interrupt my train of thought. ChatGPT has been very handy for random questions about the language, but in-editor suggestions completely ruin any attempt on my part to learn. While I have been very pleased with in-editor-AI for tidying up my code and providing some logical completions, this was the first time that it clicked that AI is really only effective if you already know what you’re doing.
