> Cursor is a nervous intern! They don’t want to admit they don’t know; we need to help by providing context.<p>With an intern, I give them some search terms and let them go learn. I don't have to do the searching for them. It's actually more important to help them learn how to evaluate the different results. It's not even that they "don't want to admit they don't know" (which is anthropomorphization), they are not designed or trained to ask clarifications. The chat based interaction is an "afterthought" (a round of fine tuning after initial training)<p>The big issues I see in this paradigm are<p>(1) you have to know a lot of things already to do this<p>(2) if we automate all the low hanging fruit, how will we develop humans to the level of understanding to do this<p>(3) with a human, I can delegate, with an AI, I have to handhold. As much as people want to call it "pair programming" it is often more like having to teach except in never truly learns, so I never get my lost time back
