I’ll take “bullshit that never happened” for 400, Alex
Oh it did, they fed it data from Stack Overflow.
Could have been Reddit data. Stack Overflow is more heavy on the probability of telling them it’s a question that’s been asked before.
Or that what they are trying to do is stupid and just do X instead, which to be fair is usually actually the correct take
Not that it couldn’t be faked, but here’s the bug report with screenshot: https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-told-me-i-should-learn-coding-instead-of-asking-it-to-generate-it-limit-of-800-locs/61132
So going trough this the reason the AI replied like it did is because the user used a feature called “quick question” that can only respond with text and not code. (It’s the last answer marked as “solution” in the linked thread.
Still funny tough.
It was obviously trained on content from Stack Overflow.
AGI has arrived 🎉
Looks like the AI has trained on enough “this looks like your homework assignment, good luck!” comments
Finally it does something useful for once
Good advice.
I’m not a coder. I don’t know how to code. But this right here made me laugh, and is proof that AI isn’t ALWAYS a garbled mess!
This is reheated news?
I just wanted to comment “And this week in old as fuck news:”
AI wiLl tAkE oUr jObS
Next post, AI tells user to “get a job”
Next post, AI makes fun of user for not knowing how to code
Now it’s just going for those sr dev roles…
