“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.

According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "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."
