"I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about." - Agent Smith "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." - Dune |

I similarly am a big fan of Cursor. But I don't "turn [my] thinking over to machines". Even though I review every piece of code it generates and make sure I understand it, it still saves me a ton of time. Heck, some of the most value I get from Cursor isn't even it generating code for me, it's getting to ask questions about a very large codebase with many maintainers where I'm unfamiliar with large chunks. E.g. asking questions like "I would like to do X, are there any places in this codebase that already do this?"
I'm also skeptical of LLMs ever being able to live up to their hype ("AGI is coming sooooon!!!!"), but I still find them to be useful tools in context that can save me a lot of time.
