I like it. It's expectation-free exploration and learning that can yield useful results and be fun.
I had an idea for a little app I wanted to build at work, and while the result seemed like it would be neat and useful, the amount of effort required never seemed worth it, so it sat unbuilt for years. So to test out Cursor, I wrote a ~2 page doc with detailed requirements on what the app should do and how it should do it, then made a mock in lucid chart and gave these two things to Cursor and Claude. It was almost able to single-shot the app, it was up and running in about 30 mins, then I spent a few hours fiddling with the UI and getting just right.
I did not read a single line of code, I have no clue what's in there, but the app works, does what I want it to do, and actually exists unlike before.
