I don't know if I can really trust the data. 93% of 40k+ votes are NO AI. How is that possible. I am not sure if I would like to go back to time when I couldn't code or when I had to do all the labourious work of writing test cases on my own. Now, my time is free to build more 0 to 1 ideas, faster and more effectively.

It's extremely easy to bot. One person can easily vote thousands of times with a simple script.

You give a question that requires nuance, forces it into a 50/50 situation and then you'll have everyone in the middle defaulting to "No" since it's closer than "Yes". Then use that as evidence for everyone hating AI.
Software developers might be majority here in HN comments, but definitely a small minority across general population. A lot of people are negatively affected by AI: computer hardware is expensive because AI companies bought all memory, Windows 11 is crap because Microsoft reworked their operating system into AI-driven trojan horse, many people lost jobs because AI companies convinced top management of their employers’ people will be replaced with computers any day now, etc.
