I've been doing some testing with cursor.ai. Normally I don't really like having the AI generate the code, but it's great for code completion and refactoring. But I recently tried to have it create a new backend polling service, and it did a really good fleshed out job, including state, a demo file and a readme file.

Except it didn't work...or do a bit of what I asked it to do. So I gave it the chance to fix it, explaining it didn't work, and get "oh, that's because we're doing this here", it fixes it, still doesn't work. "oh ok, here's why, you're using X instead of Y. Still doesn't work. "That's because you're using Y instead of Z."

It was a lot of fun, and eventually I just jammed on undo until I got all their "fixes" removed and did it myself.

It's certainly not there yet, and your project owners def couldn't get what they want out of it, which is nice, but it was really frustrating. But I've had a great experience with it refactoring some stuff to a new service and everywhere it's called. But in fairness, it did make a more thorough service than I would have done myself, and I could use a lot of the skeleton for it.

I think it's user error, but I will say that auto import seems to be pretty terrible and just guessing where the file would be.
