They do more than just autocomplete, even in autocomplete mode. These Ai tools suggest entire code blocks and logic and fill in multiple lines,

We know. "Improved autocomplete" is still an accurate (the most accurate) description for what current generation AI can do.

When compared to current autocomplete, AI is a delight. (Though it has a long way to go to improve at not adding stupid bullshit. But I'm confident that will get better.)

When measured against a true intelligence, I know I'm interacting with a newbie or a con man, because there's no honest reason an informed person would even consider making that comparison.
