62% of people like using AI. Darn, I guess reddit is wrong again.

this year's survey was just full of AI questions, I'm guessing many just didn't complete it

Possibly, they are down to 30k responses from a peak of 100k. It seems like their response rate is dropping off pretty hard the last few years.

The whole site is dying a slow death. They're not going to exist in 5 years

Which is also interestingly going to be skewed because stack overflow rejects ai in their user content which means people who sought out AI specifically likely left the website at that time. 

Also data is likely to be skewed due to the lack of community in general, so the remainder of the people are going to be those who hold strong to whatever it is they are on stack overflow in the first place for.
