> being a luditite and abstaining from using AI is not the answer

Hum... The judge is still out on that one, but the evidence is piling up into the "yes, not using it is what works best" here. Personally, my experience is strongly negative, and I've seen other people get very negative results from it too.

Maybe it will improve so much that at some point people actually get positive value from it. My best guess is that we are not there yet.

It's not either or. In my specific situation Cursor is such a productivity booster that I can't imagine going back. It's not a theoretical question.

+1, people that are giving up on tools like Cursor are just less productive, that's not theoretical, that's a fact.

Yeah, I agree. It's not "being a Luddite" to take a look and conclude that the tool doesn't actually deliver the value it claims to. When AI can actually reliably do the things its proponents say it can do, I'll use it. But as of today it can't, and I have no use for tools that only work some of the time.

Machine translation alone is a huge positive value. What GPT can do in this area is vastly better than anything before it.
