Context-aware AI is where it's at. One that's
integrated into your IDE and can see your entire codebase and offer suggestions with functions and variables that actually match the ones in your libraries. Github Copilot does this.

Once the codebase gets large enough, a lot of times you can just write out a comment and suddenly you'll have a completely functional code block pop up underneath it, and you hit "tab" to accept it and move on. It's a very sophisticated autocomplete. It removes tediousness and lets you focus on logic.
