Quality of predictive code completion

I am so perturbed by Xcode's predictive code completion (PCC) - it operates like a 5 year old boy who constantly distracts me code by throwing up entirely irrelevant code sections even if there is nothing to complete.

Even in cases where I have a long set of references (object dot something dot something etc), and PCC would be really handy, its list rarely has what is in the immediate scope of my source line as the first couple of suggestions. Additionally, its code suggestions (fully lines of code, structs etc) sort of skirt what might be possible mixed with code from elsewhere in my app.

Quality of PCC is awful and at this point with CoPilot doing such a great job, chatGPT lose integration with Xcode, what is Apple thinking, are they serious about their hijacked AI term?

I am open to suggestions, what (the heck) could I be doing wrong or should I refresh something. Right now I have turned off PCC, it is not helping.
