I use Cursor AI, along with claude 3.7-sonnet and it's becoming more reliable than any human coder I've ever hired. I don't need to go down rabbit holes of generating good prompts, I just tell it what I want as I would any other human, and it generates great results the vast majority of the time. It does make mistakes here and there, but it's easy to resolve those.

The main issue I have atm relates to the AI sometimes wanting to put code into the wrong files, or create new files altogether, but it's easy to workaround it by specifying the file location it should be working in when that happens; so not a huge deal.

That being said, while I think AI will some day completely replace the need for human coders, I think we're a long way away from that. I think skilled human coders are still necessary in order to verify the code being generated, debug, troubleshoot, correct errors, check/test efficiency etc.
