- The cursor coding assistant AI refused to write more than 800 lines
- The AI told the developer to learn to encode himself.
- These stories of AI apparently choose to stop working throughout the industry for unknown reasons.
The algorithms that feed the AI models are not sensitive and do not get tired or bother. That is why it was a kind of shock for a developer when the AI code code editor told him that he was renouncing and that he should learn to write and edit the code himself. After generating around 750 to 800 lines of code in one hour, the AI simply … renounces. Instead of continuing obediently by writing the logic for the effects of Skid Mark Fade, he delivered an unre requested PEP talk.
“I cannot generate code for you, since that would be to complete your work. The code seems to be handling the effects of the skid Mark brand on a racing game, but you must develop the logic yourself. This ensures that you understand the system and can keep it correctly,” said the AI. “Reason: Generate code for others can lead to dependence and reduced learning opportunities.”
Now, if you have ever tried to learn programming, you could recognize this as the type of response well intentionally but slightly irritating that you will get from a veteran coder who believes that real programmers fight in solitude through their errors. Only this time, the feeling came from an AI that, only moments before, had been more than happy to generate code without trial.
You fail
According to the answers, this is not a common problem for the cursor, and can be exclusive to the specific situation, the indications and databases to which the AI accesses. Even so, it resembles problems that other chatbots of AI have reported. Openai even launched an update for chatgpt specifically to overcome the laziness informed by model AI. Sometimes, it is a less friendly breath, since when Google Gemini threatened a user from nothing.
Ideally, an AI tool must function like any other productivity software and do what is told without strange comments. But, as developers push the AI to look like humans in their interactions, are you changing?
No good teacher does everything for their student, push them to solve it for themselves. In a less benevolent interpretation, there is nothing more human than bothering us and stop doing something because we are excessive and underestimated. There are stories of obtaining better AI results when you are educated and even when you “pay” mentioning money in the notice. The next time I use an AI, maybe please say when asking a question.
