i mean i still think tab/auto completion is good to save time.

the problem is when people become reliant on it and just have it write entire chucks of code without going through it and checking it or changing it after the baseline is done.

Then that wouldn't exactly be a time saver, but rather time-consuming? Paradox

i mean finishing a variable declare with a tab is pretty convenient.

as is autocompleting an html5 structure.

Autocomplete is fine, but do we need “AI” to figure out left and right?

And I agree, chunks of code are bad.
