    they should maybe just shut AI down

    Cursor AI refuses to write code for a user

    https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/14/ai-coding-assistant-cursor-reportedly-tells-a-vibe-coder-to-write-his-own-d**n-code/

    Cursor’s refusal also sounded an awful lot like the replies newbie coders could get when asking questions on programming forum Stack Overflow

    @phenomlab I attempted to go to this article and got the 404 error. I find that interesting that AI refused to write code. Especially when AI is made to do what you ask it.

    And so, it starts. One of the first Robots “employed” by Mercedes-Benz to assemble engine parts.

    The 5’8" tall robot performed the first public demonstration in a real-world setting of a real-world task - in this case assembling an engine part - entirely autonomously.

    The costs of small, lightweight components have fallen as artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and computer vision technology have led to rapid advances in the field of robots that can emulate human movement and tasks.

    @phenomlab that is crazy. And so Cyberdyne begins. Once the world is populated with enough robots, it will take them over and start making Terminators after it nukes the world.

    @phenomlab Lets spy on everyone’s email in the name of cybersecurity and suspician. Lets not leave the users responsible to not click on stuff they shouldn’t or to have the proper measures setup on their own devices. And technically isn’t every email potentially suspicious? Wow!

    @phenomlab oh wow, I would be pissed too and would want to sue. I would think that Meta would need to pay some sort of royalties or something for every piece of literature it used to train it’s AI and then anytime the AI references that literature then royalties would need to be paid. That is crazy and I don’t believe they should get away with doing that.

    Unless I am missing something here, but it seemed pretty straight forward.

    @Madchatthew To me, it appears as though Meta considers itself “entitled” to take whatever it wants for free. Not how it works in this world, and it’s a liberty to say the least. Content creators have every right to be up in arms about this.

    OpenAI is suing Elon Musk over claims he has tried “nonstop” to slow down its business for his own benefit.

    The company accuses the Tesla boss of using “bad-faith tactics” against OpenAI to help him control cutting-edge AI technology.

    @phenomlab this is interesting. There are a lot of artists that are refusing to use and hate AI due to it stealing some of their works and dubbing it as it’s own. The only reason I know this is because my daughter loves art and some of the youtube creators we let her watch talk about this. I do like the quote that they use in the article. You can usually pickup on the feelings and passion when someone writes something and while AI may be able to write something in the same format and wording you might write something, the heart and passion isn’t going to be in it.

    @Madchatthew yes, I think this is where AI falls short as it’s unable to convey emotion. Much in the same manner as a poorly worded email or text message does the same in the sense that it can easily be misconstrued owing to the recipient not being able to determine tone for example - this obviously isn’t transmitted with only words, and therefore, the recipient has to try and determine how the message sound be interpreted - which is, in most cases, wrong.

    Most musicians have a trademark style of playing (for example, guitar), and it’s impassible for this to be truly replicated by AI. A human playing the same instrument could play the same melody multiple times and it would be different on each occasion.
