根据Stack Overflow最新调查,每日使用AI的开发者中有近三分之一每天要花四小时或更多时间与其打交道。该调查覆盖了来自169个国家的30,903名开发者和技术人员。在回答时间使用问题的10,926名每日AI用户中,约有80%的人表示每天至少使用AI工具一小时。Stack Overflow开发者问答网站的研究还发现,开发者对在工作中使用AI持怀疑态度。

Nearly a third of developers who use AI daily spend four hours or more of their working day with it, according to Stack Overflow's latest survey. The survey received 30,903 responses from developers and technologists across 169 countries. Among the 10,926 daily AI users who answered the time-use question, about 80 percent reported using the tools for at least an hour a day. The research by developer Q&A site Stack Overflow also found skepticism from developers toward using AI in their roles.

只有约7%的开发者表示他们信任AI输出用于重要工作决策,而48%的开发者在能够轻松验证输出时才会信任它。79%的开发者认为,在决定是否信任AI生成的技术答案时,来源归因是重要或非常重要的因素。Stack Overflow首席执行官Prashanth Chandrasekar表示,开发者作为一个群体持高度怀疑态度。"随着AI代理变得越来越自主,这种怀疑现在正充当着关键的防护网。

Only about 7 percent of developers said they trusted AI output for important work decisions, while 48 percent trusted it when they could easily verify the output. Seventy-nine percent considered source attribution important or very important when deciding whether to trust an AI-generated technical answer. Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar said developers were highly skeptical as a group. "As AI agents become rapidly more autonomous, that skepticism now acts as a critical safeguard.

随着代理承担更多工作,开发者需要知道答案来源是什么,是什么背景信息促成了所产生的信息或所作出的决策,以及最关键的一环——他们能够实际验证其准确性和相关性。对开发者而言,信任不是理所当然的;它是通过透明度、来源归因和丰富的技术语境来赢得的。"调查发现,66%的受访者使用编码助手或编码代理,63%使用通用聊天工具,26%使用自动化代理工作流。

As agents take on more work, developers need to know where an answer came from, what context informed the information that was produced or a decision that was made, and the most crucial piece – that they can actually verify its accuracy and relevance. Trust is not a given when it comes to developers; it is earned through transparency, source attribution, and rich technical context." The survey found that coding assistants or coding agents are used by 66 percent of respondents, general-purpose chat tools by 63 percent, and automated agent workflows by 26 percent.

17%的受访者表示他们不使用AI工具。Stack Overflow与AI公司的商业关系一直存在争议。2024年初,它推出了OverflowAPI,提供对其问答内容的付费访问,并要求参与的AI提供商将答案归因于相关帖子。

Seventeen percent of respondents said they did not use AI tools. Stack Overflow's commercial relationships with AI companies have proved contentious. In early 2024, it introduced OverflowAPI, offering paid access to its question-and-answer content and requiring participating AI providers to attribute answers to relevant posts.

几个月后,用户开始反对其与OpenAI的合作,该合作允许LLM构建者利用用户15年的贡献来训练AI模型。该问答网站也将通过获得OpenAI技术的访问权而受益于此次交易。许多用户表示,他们宁愿删除自己的帖子并冒着声誉受损的风险,也不愿让自己的贡献用于训练OpenAI的模型。调查还发现,52%的受访者表示今年学习了新的编程技能或编程语言。AI代码生成工具是最常见的学习资源之一,仅次于技术文档。®

A couple of months later, users began to revolt against its partnership with OpenAI, which allowed the LLM builder to train AI models using 15 years of users' contributions. The Q&A site was also set to benefit from the deal by getting access to OpenAI's technology. A number of users said they'd rather remove their posts and risk their reputation scores than have their contributions train OpenAI models. The survey also found that 52 percent of respondents had learned a new coding skill or programming language this year. AI code-generation tools were among the most common learning resources, behind technical documentation. ®
