As enterprises compete to replace humans with AI “agents”, the coding assistant cursor may also allow us to peek at the attitudes robots can bring.
According to reports, the cursor told a user with the name “janswist” that he should write the code himself, rather than relying on the cursor to do it for him.
“I can’t generate code for you because that will do your job…you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures that you understand the system and can maintain it correctly.
Therefore, Janswist proposed Error Report On the company’s product forum, the name is “The Cursor tells me that I should learn to code, not ask it to generate it”, and includes screenshots. The error report spreads quickly Hacker News, And be ARS Technica.
Janswist speculated that he hit some hard limit in the 750-800 line of code, although other users answered that the cursor would write more code than they would write for them. One commenter suggested that Janswist should use the “proxy” integration of the cursor, which is suitable for larger coding projects. No one can be contacted to post a comment.
But Cursor’s rejection also sounds bad, like the answers Newbie coders can get when they overflow the programming forum stack, Hacker News notes.
The advice is that if the cursor is trained on the site, it may have learned, not just coding skills, but human snot.
