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 wonder if you need to explicitly prompt it to check if a function really exists before suggesting it? Think about how a human brain works... we are constantly evaluating whether or not things are really true based on info in our heads... but we are not telling the models to do the same thing and instead they just yolo some shit that is confidently-wrong (not unlike many humans, admittedly).

Yeah I am not a very efficient user that is for sure, I just ask my question as if typing to a search engine. If one uses a specification document like more serious users do, it probably becomes more accurate.
