Apologies - something very clearly went wrong here. We’ve already begun investigating, and some very early results:
* Any AI responses used for email support are now clearly labeled as such. We use AI-assisted responses as the first filter for email support.
* We’ve made sure this user is completely refunded - least we can do for the trouble.
For context, this user’s complaint was the result of a race condition that appears on very slow internet connections. The race leads to a bunch of unneeded sessions being created which crowds out the real sessions. We’ve rolled out a fix.
Appreciate all the feedback. Will help improve the experience for future users.
Don't use AI. Actually care. Like, take a step back, and realise you should give a shit about support for a paid product.
Don't get me wrong: AI is a very effective tool, *for doing things you don't care about*. I had to do a random docker compose change the the other day. It's not production code, it will be very obvious whether or not AI output works, and I very rarely touch docker and don't care to become a super expert in it. So I prompted the change, and it was good enough and so I ran with it.
You using AI for support tells me that you don't care about support. Which tells me whether or not I should be your customer.
Do they advertise that there's no support when you pay $20? I'm gonna take a guess that they don't.
They are getting paid by their customers and if they can't sustain their business (which includes support) with it they are under pricing their product and should have consequences for it.
A business is a business and we should stop treating startups as special. They operate on the same rules and standards that everyone else does.
I've gotten a lot of value out of it over the past year, and often feel that I'm underpaying for what I'm getting.
To me, any type of business is a business. I'd treat Cursor as special because it is special.
