If so, I'd like to know about that questions:

Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
What type of AI do you use?
Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?

Can't you use global search for that? I mean I do that too but using global search functionallity is way faster and guaranteed.

You can also use grep command to search occurrences inside files based in a string/regex

Of course, but this assumes I know roughly what the text will look like that I'm searching for. If I already know what it will look like, I'll use global search of course, but if all I know is that "at some point this element is put into the document" then I have no idea how that might actually happen. AI is just pretty good (ie succeeds sometimes) at generalising my words into a rough idea and searching for that.
