The AI ​​Cursor coding assistant would have said to a “room coder” to write his own fucking code

While companies take place to replace humans with AI “agents”, the assistant coding cursor may have given us an overview of the attitude that robots could also put to work.

Cursor would have said to a user under the name of “janswist” that he should write the code himself instead of counting on the cursor to do so for him.

“I cannot generate code for you, because it would end your work … You should develop logic yourself. This guarantees that you understand the system and that you can keep it properly, “said Janswist told him Cursor after spending an hour” atmosphere “coding with the tool.

So Janswist filed A bug report On the company’s product forum, called “Cursor, told me that I should learn coding instead of asking it to generate it” and include screenshot. The bug report quickly became viral Hacker News, and was covered by Ars Technica.

Janswist hypothesized that he reached a kind of limit lasting at 750-800 lines of code, although other users replied that the cursor will write more code than for them. A speaker suggested that Janswist should have used the “agent” integration of Cursor, which works for larger coding projects. Anysphere could not be joined to comment.

But the cursor’s refusal also sounded enormously sounded like the answers that the coders that the new coders could obtain when they ask questions about programming the overflow of the forum, people on Hacker News have stressed.

The suggestion is that if the cursor trained on this site, he may have learned, not just coding advice, but also human snark.
