| Jun 3 at 20:40 | comment | added | Alex | They want to steer the conversation in favor of AI to say "see, developers love it, give us more money, AI companies." | |
| May 30 at 22:33 | comment | added | aakoch | I was using AI but now am not. Where was that option? | |
| May 29 at 15:24 | comment | added | Sinc | At the very least there should be a follow up question when I say "no" to using AI. "Why not?" | |
| May 25 at 21:52 | comment | added | Longinus | I am also heavily disappointed by the survey only suggesting "lack of executive buy-in" as a "challenge," and not considering the IT department having ipbanned all the AI services. | |
| May 23 at 7:01 | comment | added | MT1 | @GregBurghardt I was surprised that I was allowed to answer the questionaire twice! | |
| May 20 at 21:18 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | This. I actually went back and changed my answer just so I could answer the other AI questions. I have no plans to use AI at my job - also this doesn't mean I don't want to, it just means the higher-ups have told us not to because security and IP concerns. | |
| May 20 at 17:38 | comment | added | Kevin B | @ThomA I don’t disagree that it’d be valuable information, but let’s keep in mind what the purpose of this survey is and always has been. | |
| May 20 at 17:27 | comment | added | Thom A | As the survey denotes that the user doesn't use AI, then they can easily filter those results out, @KevinB . Plus, someone might not use AI because they had a terrible experience with it and therefore intentionally avoid it; those opinions do matter even if Stack Overflow thinks they don't, as OverflowAI in no way ever hallucinates. | |
| May 20 at 15:59 | comment | added | rjzii | @KevinB Obviously it depends on what the questions in that section actually are, but if I was designing a survey to see how people are using AI as part of the development process, then I would also want to know why they aren't using AI as well. There's a big difference between "I don't like the tools" and "Corporate policy doesn't allow the use of GenAI" or "The tools are too prone to hallucinations to be used in a secure computing environment." | |
| May 20 at 15:32 | comment | added | Kevin B | Why would they allow users who are more likely to rate it poorly fill out that section? that's bad for marketing | |
| May 20 at 15:14 | comment | added | rjzii | Indeed, right now my job involves developing AI but because we don't use AI tools that entire section was skipped. | |
