AI tools are increasingly integrated into software development workflows, with four in five developers using them by 2025. However, trust in their accuracy has decreased from 40% to 29%. Developers face challenges, particularly with solutions that are partially correct, leading to frustrating bugs that are difficult to troubleshoot. Over a third of developers resort to Stack Overflow for assistance with AI-related issues. Despite advancements in reasoning-optimized models, the unreliability of AI outputs remains a concern for the development community.
'Trust in the accuracy of AI has fallen from 40 percent in previous years to just 29 percent this year.'
'When asked what their top frustration with AI tools was, 45 percent of respondents said they struggled with 'AI solutions that are almost right, but not quite.''
'More than a third of the developers in the survey report that some of their visits to Stack Overflow are a result of AI-related issues.'
'That close-but-not-quite unreliability is unlikely to ever vanish completely.'
'Four in five developers use AI tools in their workflow in 2025—a portion that has been rapidly growing in recent years.'
