On Monday, a developer using the popular AI-powered code editor Cursor noticed something strange: Switching between machines instantly logged them out, breaking a common workflow for programmers who use multiple devices. When the user contacted Cursor support, an agent named “Sam” told them it was expected behavior under a new policy. But no such policy existed, and Sam was a bot. The AI model made the policy up, sparking a wave of complaints and cancellation threats documented on Hacker News and Reddit.
They are taking the control slowly :)
I foresee corporations cutting down on middle management by using AI bots instead. So while our media told us about a future where all manual labor is automated, in reality we’re heading towards one where all management is at the whims of a reddit-fed Frankenstein monster chat bot.
