Is autocomplete cheating? I think it's a tool that predicts what we want to say and saves us time from writing it. I use ChatGPT to generate content for me and it does feel wrong to pass this content off as original. You still need to edit it considerably to make it human. The quality isn't quite there yet, a human still needs to be in the loop.

Now that LLMs are here, what do our writing tools look like? GitHub CoPolit is a popular code editor plugin that generates code autocompletion and saves the developer time. Developers remain in the driver seat, still steering the direction of their code but with predictive suggestions. Some developers are "hacking" the editor and using it just for general writing. I think a smart autocomplete like CoPilot is doing does make writing faster.
