Cursor is an old way of using LLMs.
Not to mention in the study less than 1/2 have ever used it before the study.
- roywiggins 1y agoThe AI tooling churn is so fast that by the time a study comes out people will be able to say "well they were using an older tool" no matter what tool that the study used.
- cratermoon 1y agoIt's the eternal future. "AI will soon be able to...". There's an entire class of investment scammers that string along their marks, claiming that the big payoff is just around corner while they fleece the victim with the death of a thousand cuts.
- nojito 1y agoNot really. Chatting with a llm was cutting edge for 3 years it’s only within the last 8-10 months with Claude code and Gemini cli do we have the next big change in how we interact with llms
- roywiggins 1y agoClaude Code was released in May.
- nojito 1y agoYup. But they are improvements over what cursor was releasing over the last year or so.
- roywiggins 1y agoIf there are paradigm-shattering improvements every six months, every single study that is ever released will be "behind" or "use an older tool." In six months when a study comes out using Claude Code, people dissatisfied with it will be able to point to the newest hotness, ad infinitum.
- camdenreslink 1y agoHow is Claude Code and Gemini CLI any different from using Cursor in agent mode? It's basically the same exact thing.
- steveklabnik 1y agoI can't speak to how they're technically different, but in practice, Cursor was basically useless for me, and Claude Code works well. Even with Cursor using Claude's models.
- bubblyworld 1y agoWhat is the problem with this, exactly? It's a valid criticism of the study (when applied to current agentic coding practices). That the pace of progress is so fast sucks for researchers, in some sense, but this is the reality right now.
