… 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.

          Well, now that you have asked.

          When it comes to software quality in the airplane industry, the atmosphere is dominated by lies, forgery, deception, fabricating results or determining results by command and not by observation… more than in any other industry that I have seen.

            Because of course it is. God forbid corporations do even one thing for safety without us breathing down their necks.

              Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

              We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

              Good luck on your next holiday 😘

            I dunno, I work in auto and let me tell you some things. Granted, I’ve never worked in aviation.
