If this is how you use Cursor then you dont need Cursor. Autocomplete has existed even before AI, but Cursor's selling point is in multi-files editing and a sensible workflow that let users iterate through diffs in the UI.
I have never used AI to generate code, only to edit. I can see it useful in both, and we should look at all usecases of AI instead of looking at it as glorified autocomplete.

- bathwaterpizza 2y agoCursor is just VS code, you can create a launch.json to do whatever you want, including using the DAP
- nsonha 2y agoThat's not a thing that AI can reliably do yet. If any code AI, including Cursor, can do that, it would be pretty ground breaking. There are some projects iterating on that front though. For example, one VSCode extension called Clide can use Anthropic Computer Use to control a headless browser and read console.log to debug in that limited way.
