Cursor Editor - VS Code with GPT Built-In

Cursor AI Editor is revolutionizing the way developers write code, offering an AI-powered environment that accelerates the software development process. With features like Ctrl+K, Copilot++, and AI chat, Cursor provides an unparalleled coding experience that’s both efficient and intuitive.

ctrl + k has the same functionality now with the copilot extension in vscode that it does in cursor (i.e. edit selected code or generate new stuff) and now there is a copilot chat extension as well that does what ctrl + L does. so atleast for the features you have shown - vscode does already have them with only two extensions (you do have to have access to copilot for them to work of course).

thanks very much for the introduction. It looks cool indeed. Cheers

Thank you, but I am unable to login. I am not sure what the problem is!

I really like AI for interpreting coding errors and application execution errors. They are often in arcane, verbose language and code syntax, but AI is great at converting that to NL.

The problem of all those ide's and projects is the lack of project context because of the LLM's context window itself :/

Thank you I use A.I. to help me write the code(the last time I coded I was using a ZX81 or Acorn Electron a very, very long time ago) then get it to explain it and I keep a copy of the explanation with the code for reference.

[AryamanSriram]

Thank you so much, I needed this. Can't believe how it really understands my code like normal AI never would.

[linuxstreamer]

it is getting better but at the moment i don't trust gpt with the hallucinations is has

This is literally what copilot does for VScode :)

quick summary of 2 days user
free trail last for about 6h of coding
is it worth installing not ready
first the in code completion gives out 3000 querys
is not lasting long before its gone
Especially when it suggest wrong. its gets second try or 8th its start to sum up

[hourtourist]

Yeah all nice Chris - but as Linux guy do you have a vid about that recent backdoor exploit via ssh?

[hexqueller]

thank you! Its first ai tool like github co - working in Russia!

[thinzin]

I really like the way you handle your website. I myself want to make website for blog, posting the things i learn... not for commercial use, for just showcase. Can you make video about it 😁, it would be very insightful.

[prcycliing]

Totally irrelevant for the point of the video (and thanks for that!), but if you have some spare time would you happen to do a video on how you visually set your VS code? It looks absolutely gorgeous and I find it quite important to have such a clean environment while working! Big hugs from Portugal!!

[spraya-ltd]

Great info Chris, thanks, I would love you yo maybe, decomplile Curser and then open another Curser up ask it what it's code iis all bout and see how well it can explain it's very self, I mean just to see if there is any hidden badboys are sneaked in. Now that would be a find.

Me using open source Alternative of co pilot: Codeium with nice live chat feature with libraries

[adrianscarlett]

AI coding tools are basically user guides on steroids

[razvancotul]

Could you please do a video on patch my pc updater for windows ? Would like to hear your toughts on the software that is also free.

[quitscher]

I did a compliance check on Cursor a view months ago. And it send every query and result throu there proxy to use if for product improvements. And then forwards it to openAI/AzureGPT or whatever you wonna use.
Thats why i dont like it.
I rather use an GPT add-in in VS code that dosnt do that and only communicates with OpenAI for instance.
So be carefull with sensitive code. As you always should be with AI tools.

I found that cursor is.way more slower than vscode i compared everything and my opinion is vscode with ai extensions is better
