What a dumb take (in your quote). Autocompletion showing me all the members of an object is nothing like ChatGPT hallucinating members that don't exist. Autocomplete will show you members you haven't seen, or aren't even documented.

Not to mention they said syntax highlighting is a bad thing... Why use computers at all? Go back to the golden days of punchcards

From later in the article (emphasis author's)

Earlier in this article I intimated that many of us are already dependent on our fancy development environments—syntax highlighting, auto-completion, code analysis, automatic refactoring. You might be wondering how AI differs from those. The answer is pretty easy: The former are tools with the ultimate goal of helping you to be more efficient and write better code; the latter is a tool with the ultimate goal of completely replacing you.
