The thing is "spicy" or "glorified" autocomplete are not actually bad labels, they are autocomplete machines that are very good up to the point of convincing people that they think.
Yours seems like a c.2023 perspective of coding assistants. These days it’s well beyond autocomplete and “generate a function that returns the numbers from the Fibonacci sequence.”
But I would think that would be well understood here.
How can you reduce what is currently possible to spicy autocomplete? That seems pretty dismissive, so much so that I wonder if it is motivated reasoning on your part.
I’m not saying it’s good or bad; I’m just saying the capability is well beyond auto complete.
