I have seen a lot of students who got overwhelmed, and think that they are writing the code but in reality that's not the case.</p> <p>So in this post i am going to show about a way through which a one can disable or enable the AI suggested code (for VS Code only) so that you will be not getting suggestion from AI.</p> <p>Let's jump into it 🏃‍♂️💻</p> <h3> 1. We are going to disable these suggestions: </h3> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwmar4nx4j01kk27hpwgl.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwmar4nx4j01kk27hpwgl.png" alt=" " width="800" height="531"></a></p> <h3> 2.
