We surveyed 730 coders and developers about how (and how often) they use AI chatbots on the job. The results amazed and disturbed us.
*ChatGPT mostly did spreadsheet-processing grunt work, offered trend analyses, and made the occasional design recommendation. Human editors and fact-checkers were there every step of the way . Will AI Fully Eat Programming Jobs One Day? Almost every coder we surveyed had strong opinions on the matter. Here’s ChatGPT’s summary of the responses : “The coders have spoken—and they’re not packing up their keyboards just yet.
The skeptics scoff, arguing AI is more like a hyperefficient intern—useful, but clueless—that can’t handle context, edge cases, or real problem-solving. The realists see AI as a force multiplier, not a job killer—automating repetitive coding but leaving the creativity, architecture, and debugging to humans. “If AI does eat programming,” one put it, “I’ll just switch to debugging AI.”* The real verdict? AI isn’t coming for your job—but it is changing it. Adapt or get left behind.
