AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

Yes, I agree with you both, @JAC, @phenomlab, that it does seem like the bad out weighs the good. I don’t think it always means that will be the case, at least I hope not, and that the good things will start out shining the bad things. Only time will tell I spose.

@phenomlab 100% agree. This is truly disgusting and I hope that they get the same sentence as if it were real children being abused.

I’m going to add that, watch them say that it is art or some nonsense like that and that they should be free to express their artistic side. I am sure that the lawyers and juries and judges won’t be dumb enough to fall for that.

@Madchatthew Given the content, I’m pretty sure the intentions will speak for themselves.

@phenomlab good grief! I think that no matter what good AI can be used for, they should maybe just shut AI down. Just like they should have just shut down social media before it took off because it sucks too

@Madchatthew said in AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?:

they should maybe just shut AI down

I don’t think that’s ever likely to happen

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab I don’t think so either, but just saying haha

Cursor AI refuses to write code for a user

No preview available

It seems techcrunch.com declined to respond to the data request. The link will still work, but no preview is available.

Cursor’s refusal also sounded an awful lot like the replies newbie coders could get when asking questions on programming forum Stack Overflow
