Demo - Edit code using cursor in natural language with AI(VS Code Alternative)

On the one hand, writing an editor that is built specifically to use AI makes sense, and this is where Cursor AI comes in. I have already heard developers recommend this tool. Cursor describes itself as “an AI-powered code editor that helps you move faster. You can use Cursor to edit code in natural language, fix runtime errors, and locate hard-to-find code.”

But there is clearly a problem with having a straight dependency on OpenAI, which Cursor AI does. This is revealed when you look at the pricing plan and realize they are mixing up ‘slow’ and ‘fast’ GPT-4 calls and GPT-3.5 calls. From a technical point of view this can be changed or placed in the background where it belongs, but they are still having to tie their roadmap to whatever OpenAI gives them access to.
