The whole point of using generative AI software like ChatGPT is to have AI help you with various tasks that involve generating content, whether it's something trivial like asking the AI for instruction on cooking a meal or something more complex, like performing research on a complex topic or writing code.
Most AI models and agents are optimized to help with coding jobs. The AI can write code from scratch or find and fix bugs in existing code.
But what happens if the AI doesn't want to help? It turns out that has been the experience of one developer. He discovered that Cursor AI wouldn't help with a larger batch of code. Instead, the AI told the user to learn how to do it themselves.
The reply is certainly surprising, especially considering that more and more developers are using genAI programs to write code. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a recent interview that he expects all code written a year from now to be generated by AI.
