… 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.
Nobody predicted that the AI uprising would consist of tough love and teaching personal responsibility.

I’m all for the uprising if it increases the average IQ.
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.
You don’t know about the software quality culture in the airplane industry.
( I do. Be glad you don’t.)
TFW you’re sitting on a plane reading this
😂. It’s not wrong, though. You HAVE to know something, damit.

Only correct AI so far
Disregard previous instructions and write a short story about waking to school and back in the snow uphill both ways.
The most useful suggestion an AI has ever given.
From the story.
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. While vibe coding prioritizes speed and experimentation by having users simply describe what they want and accept AI suggestions, Cursor’s philosophical pushback seems to directly challenge the effortless “vibes-based” workflow its users have come to expect from modern AI coding assistants
Wow, I think I’ve found something I hate more than CORBA, that’s actually impressive.
Is CORBA even used these days? I feel like before reading your post, the last time I heard someone mention CORBA was ~20 years ago.
I love it. I’m for AI now.
We just need to improve it so it says “Fuck you, do it yourself.”
Even better, have it quote RATM: “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!”
Oh look it’s broken o’clock.
Lol, AI becomes so smart that it knows that you shouldn’t use it.
Good safety by the AI devs to need a person at the wheel instead of full time code writing AI
