AI Features in Xcode 16: is it Good 👍 or Bad 👎?

[@nilshausig205]

Thank you Vincent. Great channel. In my opinion, at least for now, Xcode's AI code completion is rather interfering than supporting. It's like having a cheeky junior programmer by ones side who won't stop chattering and whose suggestions are complete nonsense in 80% of the cases. Every time it pops up it is breaking your flow because - unlike the classic shorter suggestions - it takes some time to reason about these, usually longer, snippets… Until you realize, it is nonsense - again! In the remaining 20% of the cases that are ok, you will learn something in 5%.

This is a good format. But I also like your short tips. Please don’t give those up.

Does anyone knows how to disable it totally from xcode ?

You can go to Preferences > Text Editing > Editing and uncheck Predictive Code Completion 👍
