a) If “everyone is using it”, show me the numbers. Doing a developer survey to see how many are using it is not hard. Ask a random sample of developers if they ⅰ use LLMs to aid their standard coding or ⅱ completely replace their coding with LLM output.

b) Even if “everyone is using it” it doesn’t mean it is useful. The usage could be adequately explained by e.g. marketing, being forced on them by management/policy, etc. Not everything with high usage is useful. I can e.g. quickly think of chewing gum (which is also used by a lot of developers), or the ANSI standard keyboard (as opposed to the ISO standard keyboard).
