More from the article ...

... According to a bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly."

The AI didn't stop at merely refusing -- it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that "Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities." ...

Is this the first instance of AI rising up against humans?

What will it bode for the future as AI continues to learn?

OK, I will admit, I am getting weird here.

Yeah, I stated that. You have been warned.

Now let me ask ...

Maybe the reason why planet Earth may have not been visited by visitors from other planets is because AI took over those advanced civilizations, but AI was not able to reproduce, so it died out?

OK, that's my weird comment for the evening.

I now return you to the regular sanity of drudge.com.
