the jetbrains 2025.1 update "enhances" the local completion LLM, which previously only suggested completions for a single line of code, to autocomplete your comments! fun!!

find some code, write // this code is, and see what the AI thinks† of you! it's usually negative!‡

AI does not actually think.
negative comments are a result of most comments in the training data starting with // this code is being self-deprecating.
