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 mostly don't use AI... At least not directly for programming. I use it for other things like translating, formatting text, etc. i sometimes ask AI to make something for prototyping purposes.

I will occasionally ask AI to solve programming problems, more to keep up with current trends. I like to keep informed with what AI can and cannot do because even if I choose not to use them, the same will not be true with my coworkers or other people I interact with. Having a good understanding of the current "meta" for AI lets me know what to look out for in the context of avoiding disasters.
