Honestly, that’s a smart thing for AI companies to do. AI is surprisingly decent at extrapolating from existing codebases, but it’s useless at starting from scratch. If one model says “I can’t do that, Dave” and another spits out garbage, you’re getting the same amount of useful code out of both and a much better signal-to-noise ratio from the first.
No, it’s not smart, I pay for Cursor to generate code, not to patronize me. I would stop paying for it and instead switch to something that at least tries different ideas to get my feature to work.
(Also it’s definitely not useless at starting from scratch, you just need a strong design and good understanding of what’s possible)
