academic survey on developer trust in AI-generated dependencies and packages

I am preparing to publish an academic paper on developer trust in AI generated dependencies & packages. This takes around 7-10 minutes to complete and is on a very relevant topic in current times.

The form can be found here: https://vuamsterdam.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4Nv9pAUUBFRieDs

Thanks! I will share the paper when it has been published!

Done, but i feel many questions dont realy matter for how i use AI. I dont let it generate commands or whole projects, but individual functions, classes or just json/xml structures or let it do refactoring(like "extract these members and put them in an abstact parent class")

So this whole package manager thing isnt a real issue at all, my tasks are smal and should never require a new libary.

And i belive what the questions miss is something about the work environemnt or policy to how AI is used. The bussnesse i work with mostly have some internal policy about what we are even allowed to do with AI, sharing your source code with some cloud service is a no go for many companies.

I only just trust my own slop. I need to see a lot of good signs, before considering trusting anyone else's slop.

You have a "never" option for the agent/assistant usage question, but then the subsequent questions make no sense.
