Note that 36% is a far cry from the “all devs use AI” claim that AI shills love to push
In fact, the same poll showed that 3/4 of devs are against the use of AI
The thing is, this is most certainly the case. I’m willing to bet that every dev uses LLMs every now for certain tasks. Having it find a bug you just can’t find yourself because you’ve been at the problem for like an hour, or have it implement a method that you already know how it should look like so it’s basically just a big autocomplete. I’m also willing to bet that artists will have LLM generate a concept for an asset if they are really out of ideas. It’s like asking friends “hey can you come up with an idea for X” and then you get 15 different inputs, all of them suck ass but there is something that jiggles your inspiration and lets you come up with something.
If you truly think that, then you go do your own survey about it. The one in the article is fairly clear on its results.
Not everyone uses AI for work. Me and my coworker do a lot of coding and neither of us touch AI at all. Hell, I get mad whenever DuckDuckGo pushes their stupid default AI summary in my face
