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?

I don't. Personally, I don't believe that AI assisted coding has a future, and I don't like the quality of what it produces. Either we achieve AGI or whatever the finance bros are hyping up this week, or we don't. If we do, then AI can write code without having a human in the loop, so "vibe coding" is dead. If we don't, then AI code stays where its at right now, which is garbage quality. After a few years vibe coding disasters, demand for human coding will increase, and my skills will be much more valuable than even before all this craziness. In that case, letting those skills atrophy today would be the wrong move.

And if I'm wrong? Well, if AI code generation makes it so anyone who doesn't know how to code can do it... then surely I'll be able to figure it out? My existing skills wouldn't hurt.

Online AI might crash, burn and go away

But open weight local models are here to stay and not going anywhere. We’re not going back to pure intellisense and simple tab completes
