Lol whoever downvoted this must be upset with Stackoverflow selling their data to train AI. Or the mod protests. Or maybe the job board shutting down? Or possibly the licensing change… Actually yea, I can see why someone downvoted this.

There are 5 or 6 ridiculous questions about AI at the beginning. They should have made it less obvious.

Most of the survey was about AI it seemed.

At least it was better than the developer survey that was only about AI. That one still makes me facepalm just thinking about it.

No? The first one was at the end of the tools and languages set where they ask which AI tools you used in the past year and want to use in the next one, and that was fairly deep in.
Unless this varies by country or is randomized, of course.

When they asked whether I use AI tools I chose yes, but the followup questions made it obvious they were talking about more specific query-based tools. So I went back and chose no instead.
What I use is Visual Studio IntelliCode. Which is free and local-only, and offers single-line-completions from context. It also offers completing repeated edits in more places.
It’s an AI tool too, but nothing like the query-based chat-/text-interface or more complex AI tools - especially in regards to the questions that followed, which did not apply at all.

I use regex find and replace for rename/refactor edits across files. No AI necessary. But I’m also a Luddite using Textmate on an old Macbook.
