   VSCode is popular with many professional software developers, but my poll indicates that JetBrains IDE products are the most popular. However, JetBrains met with negativity recently when they added AI assistant to their products. While AI-powered services have been overhyped, they come with concerns about LLM's security, legal risk, privacy, and ethics. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-1760/Can-not-remove-Jetbrains-AI-Assistant-plugin-completely

     @nixCraft they claim that the AI assist is trained exclusively on your local coffee, but the suggestions it makes are nonsense, referencing variables that haven't been declared, etc. I turned it off. I still love their tools though, just not this new feature.

     @nixCraft I’m often surprised by internet outrages and this is one of them: Sounds like a totally fine response to me. It certainly makes sense JetBrains experiments with AI (they’d be stupid not to), and it’s a matter of not enabling the feature to not use it. But I can read from other replies how some people get quite hurt 🤷
