I'm a bit nervous where I'd end up though - with code I'd "written" but wasn't familiar with, and with who knows what kinds of limitations or subtle bugs baked in.
I’m having a hard time coming close to the 500 included in the monthly subscription and I use it like, a lot.
Just curious how you’re hitting that 200-300 mark unless you’re talking about paying Anthropic outside of cursor. Which I just now realized is probably the case.
This does seem like quite a big downside. It turns every new feature into “implement this in someone else’s code base”. I imagine you’d very quickly have complete dependency on the AI. Maybe that’s an inevitability in this new world?
That's a feature, not a bug. At least from OAI/Anthropic's point of view.
I don't think there's any current AI that is fully trustworthy this way though.
I wouldn't even put them at 50% trustworthy
I think we are going to see a cliff where they become 80% good, and every tiny bit of improvement past that point will be exponentially more difficult and expensive to achieve. I don't think we reach 100% reliable AI in any of our lifetimes
Current AI is likely already beyond 50% trustworthiness, whatever that means.
People had this same prediction about offshore development
Those old school devs are able to find well paying work fixing broken software churned out by overseas code sweatshops
I predict if you can read and understand code without the help of AI models you will be in even higher demand to fix the endless broken software built by AI assisted coders who cannot function without AI help
It amazes me that more people aren't worried about this.
