Are there programmers that still don't use AI? (lemmy.world)

Four months ago I asked if and how people used AI here in this community (https://lemmy.world/post/37760851).

Many people said that didn't use it, or used only for consulting a few times.

But in those 4 months AIs evolved a lot, so I wonder, is there people who still don't use AI daily for programming?

Never used it. Don't see any reason to. I just type stuff in my IDE. Works like a charm.

Most of the time I'm not writing large volumes or boilerplate code or anything, I'm making precise changes to solve specific problems. I doubt there's any LLM that can do that more effectively than a programmer with real knowledge of the code base and application domain.

I also work on open source software and we haven't seen a meaningful uptick in good contributions due to AI over the last few years. So if there's some mythical productivity increase happening, I'm just not seeing it.
