… 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.”

The AI didn’t stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that “Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities.”

Hilarious.

    Cursor AI’s abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of “vibe coding”—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.

    Yeah, I’m gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole’s “vibe code” controlling it.

      Who is going to ask you?

      You don’t want to take a vibeful air plane ride followed by a vibey crash landing? You’re such a square and so behind the times.
