*Further Information*

*ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, has shown significant potential in supporting developers in various tasks, from coding to documentation and developing implementation plans. Other competing generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) models, such as Bard and Wolfram Alpha, have been used to a varying degree as aids to developers. Our study explores the use of ChatGPT and other LLMs (Large Language Models) by professional developers using the Stack Overflow 2023 survey and finds that there are significant differences in usage by age, with younger users significantly more likely to use LLMs than older individuals. Other major findings explore the usage by developer type, professional status and the effect of user sentiment and trust in AI on the usage of ChatGPT for developers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]*
