So how many developers in that survey are those?

They surveyed 791 developers (:D) and "a third of senior developers" do that. That's... generiously, what... 20 people?

It's amazing how everyone can massage numbers when they're trying to sell something.

The other thing they do is conveniently not mention all the negative stuff about AI that the source article mentions, they only report on the portion of content from the source that's in any way positive of AI.

And of course, its an article based on a source article based on a survey (of a single company), with the source article written by a "content marketing manager", and the raw data of the survey isn't released/published, only some marketing summary of what the results (supposedly) were. Very trustworthy.
