Developers Report Falling Trust In AI Tools

The Stack Overflow Developer Survey of more than 49,000 developers this year finds rising AI tool adoption but declining trust: 80% use AI tools while trust in AI accuracy fell from 40% to 29%. Forty-five percent cite 'almost-right' AI outputs as their top frustration, and 66% say they spend more time fixing AI-generated code; respondents increasingly rely on human-verified resources like Stack Overflow and GitHub.
