If so, I'd like to know about that questions:

Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
What type of AI do you use?
Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?

I try to avoid it, but ever since search engines have gone to shit, it has forced me to use it for debugging code. Stack overflow, r/Cprogramming, minimal articles on the specific issue, have ceased to exist ever since AI generation. And why should it? Why would a user post an issue (for example, on stack overflow) wait for a few days to get a few responses, when they could get an instant response with AI. Search engines have gone to shit so much, that My fathers startup company has issued a premium license for chatGPT because of how dead Search engines are.

I hate it, I wish I didn't have to use it, and yet this is my reality.
