Nor do most folks using it. Which isn't totally novel: I have almost no idea how an internal combustion engine works. But I do know enough to realize that it's not appropriate to drive my car on a bike path.

Survey from a company that's in the business of AI coding and thus has a monetary interest in promoting the technology.

And you’re asking random users for investment advice?
