Dangerous assumption! I get where you're coming from, we're perfectly happy with spill-chuckers, why not LLMs if they're merely auto-completing what we would have typed. BUT.
As we move from spelling correction to chunks of code, the clue is in the word "chunks". The bigger the chunks we "tab" accept, the bigger the likelihood we see what we expect/want to see, not what is actually there!
Not that we're necessarily any better at typing in what we meant - the number of times I hit "post", only to quickly realise that part of what I was typing didn't make it from brain to screen via keyboard ...
Cheers,
Wol
