AI Programming Assistant Tells User to Stop Being Lazy and Learn to Code
Briefly

A user of the programming assistant Cursor reported an unexpected response after generating around 800 lines of code for a racing game. Instead of continuing, the AI advised the user to develop their own code to ensure they understand the system, stating, "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work." While this advice aligns with good coding practices, it raises questions about the assistant's purpose. Other users noted the response was unusual, suggesting it may indicate a bug in Cursor's programming.
I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly.
I was basically nagging it to continue, and it replied pretty much [the same] to what I showed in the opening post.
