If Mozilla doesn't add "AI" then it will be held up as yet another example of how they're failing users by not keeping up with <shiny feature that all other browers support>.

Heads or tails, they still lose.

Google's BigQuery SQL editor now tries to complete your queries with AI ... :-(

I was surprised. The one time it got it right, it correctly predicted about 4 lines of tricky-to-get-right text.

Unfortunately, nine times out of ten I was typing short stuff which I'd finished, and the predictions simply got me thoroughly confused as to what was going on. I'd much rather the hassle of typing a query where I know what it (should be) doing, rather than trying to get rid of loads of auto-corrupt text and fighting the editor as it tries to add more.

Cheers,
