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?

We onboarded our team with VS integrated Copilot.

I regularly use inline suggestions. I sometimes use the suggestions that go beyond what VS suggested before Copilot license.. I am regularly annoyed at the suggestions moving off code, even greyed out sometimes being ambiguous with grey text like comma and semicolon, and control conflicting with basic cursor navigation (CTRL+Right arrow)

I am very selective about where I use Copilot. Even for simple systematic changes, I often prefer my own editing, quick actions, or multi cursor, because they are deterministic and don't require a focused review that takes the same amount of time but with worse mental effect.

Probably more than my IDE "AI", I use AI search to get information. I have the knowledge to assess results, and know when to check sources anyway, in addition, or instead.

My biggest issue with our AI is in the code some of my colleagues produce and give me for review, and that I don't/can't know how much they themselves thought about the issues and solution at hand. A lack of description, or worse, AI generated summaries, are an issue in relation to that.
