I filled it out. I feel like it was briefer than previous years? And obviously there are a bunch of questions about genAI junk, which I suspect will end up showing up as very widely used, so I hope some of you skeptics will also fill it out and at least we might be legible as a meaningful minority

@glyph felt to me like most of it was about AI. I guess the number of questions is different if you answer "yes", and I do use it at work.

@glyph It was relatively short, but I had to use "Other, please specify" more often than what I'd consider normal for an established survey ("I'm not that weird", she says)

@glyph filled it out! there weren't many options to show my disdain for AI, though

@cthoyt a few key "no"s still provide a useful signal in the data. I am given to believe that if you say "yes" to more AI stuff the survey is much longer

@glyph good point. I hope the combination of questions where I did say "yes, I've heard of all of these things" and also "no, I'm not using them" will lead to the right insights

@glyph Aye, I would have preferred at least one checkbox somewhere for like "I do not use LLM/GenAI for ethical reason" so I resolved to put it in the comments field at the end

@glyph I stopped doing them a few years back. For one, I'm tired of their 10 page terms which doesn't respect my time.
Why do I need to grant "consent to JetBrains ... to create an image of [my] likeness, video, and/or audio record concerning [me]"?
Or, before public publication, "Any information provided to the Participant shall be kept confidential by the Participant .. The duty of confidentiality is perpetually binding upon the Participant." Why should I agree to pay a US$20K penalty?

@dalke Hmm, I will try to find an appropriate channel to raise this objection through. that does sound horrible. (I did not notice because T&Cs for online services like this are not generally enforceable; but still, they shouldn’t be stipulating ridiculousness like this.)
