It might be fun if it didn't seem dishonest. The report tries to highlight a divide between employee curiosity and employer encouragement, undercut by their own analysis that most have tried them anyway.
The article MISREPRESENTS that statistic to imply universal utility. That professional developers find it so useful that they universally chose to make daily use of it. It implies that Copilot is somehow more useful than an IDE without itself making that ridiculous claim.
The article is typical security issue embellishment/blogspam. They are incentivized to make it seem like AI is a mission-critical piece of software, because more AI reliance means a security issue in AI is a bigger deal, which means more pats on the back for them for finding it.
Sadly, much of the security industry has been reduced to a competition over who can find the biggest vuln, and it has the effect of lowering the quality of discourse around all of it.
And employers are now starting to require compliance with using LLMs regardless of employee curiosity.
Shopify now includes LLM use in annual reviews, and if I'm not mistaken GitHub followed suit.
