Who mentioned anything about perfect - just pretty good would be an improvement. That is where I would rather my subscription $$$ go towards fixing than more AI distraction.

It's really embarrassing to see how many people who work in software development don't know how generative AI works and are being fooled by it like an average TikTok teenager.

Open Source does not mean that the code can be used freely. There are still conditions that must be observed (attribution, restrictions on usage, etc.). An AI (or the people that train it) doesn't care about that. I think that is naive. Have the people who wrote those policies earned your trust? In my POV, that whole industry has shown from the start that they can't be trusted. I don't think you understand how these things work; We are nowhere near being able to do anything like that. In fact that task would require a completely different type of AI. All we have now is one that is good at emulating stuff. Volkswagen wasn't a mistake or an accident. They knowingly implemented a mechanism to circumvent an environmental test. AI companies use the Science excuse instead; Their purpose and goal is more important than rules and ethics. If they were actually working a kind of AI that could do more than just copy other peoples work then I might understand it - but they aren't.

Here we are talking about AI integration in the IDE - meanwhile, code insight, code completion, code navigation etc - ie the basics of a modern IDE are still pretty much completely broken after how many versions of delphi?

WebUI demo is available: http://delphihtmlcomponents.com/webui.zip 1. Extract files from zip. 2. Run nw.exe (requires Administrator because uses http.sys web server) 3. Enter your DB connection details or leave demo DB 4. Press Create UI 5. After UI is created press Start server and open http://localhost:8080 in browser.

I can't believe they did it 🥲

Read this the other day - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/glossary/generative-ai/ Interesting that there is no mention of eithics etc - I guess shareholders don't care.

I am not talking about what you put in your code repository and where and how you host it. I am talking about full AI integration with IDE where you may open security sensitive code in the IDE which then might be sent to AI and end up in training data without your knowledge. And you don't even have to open it. It may just be a part of your project where AI will go through your complete data to be able to give you relevant explanations and completions. Similar to https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/is-google-gemini-ai-accessing-your-google-drive-files-heres-what-you-can-do-about-it/articleshow/111788643.cms?from=mdr

I believe the last perfect IDE was Turbo Pascal?

Once something is integrated, there is always a possibility of bugs. You have a setting that says you are not allowing some feature, but the bug creeps in and the feature ends up enabled behind your back. Another problem is that with AI, companies have incentive to make "bugs" and use anything they can get their hands on for training. Your data is the product. So while you may be fine with some parts of your code being used for training, there will be parts you will want to keep secret for security reason (if nothing else, various API keys and similar), but if you have AI integrated in the IDE, you can never be sure which parts of your code will be used for training and which ones are not. For some people and companies the security concern is real and even slight possibility that some parts of their code or other information can leak through AI can be a huge risk.
