This article goes completely against my experience so far.

I teach at an internship program and the main problem with interns since 2023 has been their over reliance on AI tools. I feel like I have to teach them to stop using AI for everything and think through the problem so that they don't get stuck.

Meanwhile many of the seniors around me are stuck in their ways, refusing to adopt interactive debuggers to replace their printf() debug habits, let alone AI tooling...

Yeah, I'm not putting stock in this at all. The methodology of this survey seems dubious.

30% of the articles on this forum are covert LLM advertising

Every single last link here is some form of an advertisement, why single out LLM-related ads?

because the underlying technology is so egregiously overhyped in relation to the quality of the services offered

Sure, but why this technology. It's not like that's the first time that's happened, and it won't be the last.
