Opportunity to participate in an international research project which is investigating the use of AI code generation in practice 💻 As AI code generation tools, such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, are increasingly integrated into software development, the use of AI-generated code is becoming more common among developers. In our research, we found that developers often self-declare AI-generated code in their code comments. To explore this further, we are conducting a survey to understand the motivation behind self-declaring and the reasons behind not self-declaring AI-generated code.   The survey will take approximately 5 minutes and includes a mix of closed-ended and open-ended questions. Your feedback will greatly help this research understand how AI-generated code is being used in real-world projects 👉 https://lnkd.in/gxYxEC75
