MS has been trying to get AI into intellisense for years now and I always turn it off.

The lack of control over it just makes it annoying. In many ways it's faster to just type out the algorithm than it is to lay the algorithm out and spend the time trying to understand what's there so I can successfully convert the code to what I need.

Then there's the lack of stability. Yesterday it did something different from what it's doing today, so I can't even use muscle memory to interact with it anymore.

Intellisense has _always_ had that annoyance factor of getting in your way sometimes, forcing you to write code in a certain way to minimize that. All this just makes it more annoying and I don't believe anyone who claims it truly makes them more productive.
