Workflow Integration

We're way past the point where AI tools were a nice-to-have, take-it-or-leave-it addition to our daily workflows, with a majority respondents now relying on AI full stop.

Even more than last year, a majority of respondents agree that AI tools have made them significantly more productive.

AI Reliance

Paradoxically, respondents are also well aware that reliance on AI will lead to poorer developer skills overall. But, as some commenters pointed out, AI itself might make up for that loss: “Less skilled yes. More capable on average also yes”.

Job Security

As respondents astutely pointed out, AI doesn't have to be able to replace you to be a threat to your job–all that's needed is that your boss thinks it can: the worry is that “AI companies can convince employers that AI can take my job, even if it can’t”.

Existential Risk

Digging into the comments paints a nuanced picture on the question if existential AI risk, with the concensus being that the main problem isn't really AI itself, but rather how we use it.

AI Bubble

Many respondents think we're currently in an AI bubble. But they also realize AI is here to stay, even after it eventually pops.

AI Improvements

Despite frequent gripes about such-and-such model being completely ruined by a recent update, it seems like respondents agree overall that we're seeing steady progress in terms of AI tool quality.

AGI Reached

Depending on who you ask, we're either 6 months away from AGI, or we'll never reach it (as one comment put it, “LLMs are not the path to AGI. They never were.”)

Overall though, one gets the feeling that despite AI researcher's obsession with reaching that elusive goal, the rest of us would be quite content to keep using our current “dumb” AI for a while, if it means bulldozing a few less rainforests in the process.

We will reach AGI (“real”, thinking artificial intelligence) within the next 10 years
