There is a certain amount of irony that people try really hard to say that hallucinations are not a big problem anymore and then a company that would benefit from that narrative gets directly hurt by it.

Which of course they are going to try to brush it all away. Better than admitting that this problem very much still exists and isn’t going away anytime soon.

Did anyone say that? They are an issue everywhere, including for code. But with code at least I can have tooling to automatically check and feed back that it hallucinated libraries, functions etc, but with just normal research / problems there is no such thing and you will spend a lot of time verifying everything.

I use Scala which has arguably the best compiler/type system with Cursor.

There is no world in which a compiler or tooling will save you from the absolute mayhem it can do. I’ve had it routinely try to re-implement third party libraries, modify code unrelated to what it was asked, quietly override functions etc.

It’s like a developer who is on LSD.

I don't know Scala. I asked cursor to create a tutorial for me to learn Scala. It created two files for me, Basic.scala and Advanced.scala. The second one didn't compile and no matter how often I tried to paste the error logs into the chat, it couldn't fix the actual error and just made up something different.
