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?

My company got me a license and there is a clear push to start using it for more mundane tasks (initial code review, migrations and so on). I use it whenever I think it will be faster but it rarely is. In personal projects I used it for some boring tasks like migrating scripts and it's definitely faster than learning completely new tools but it sucks not to understand the code you're using. Also, I know I would do it better myself (just 10x slower). I might use it for some other personal apps which are kind of 'fire and forget' tools, not something I'm planning on maintaining.
