Like so many trolls before, AI is now, apparently, telling people to learn to code when they ask it to write it for them.

        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.
