AI coding wizard refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead

A developer working on a racing game with Cursor AI encountered an unexpected issue. The AI refused to generate more code and instead offered career advice🤴😂 .

As detailed in a bug report on Cursor’s forum, after generating around 750–800 lines of code, the assistant abruptly stopped, stating: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to handle skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself to ensure you understand and maintain the system properly."

What was meant to be a coding assistant suddenly turned into a mentorship bot 🤣.
