Same idea, take somebody else's work and present as your own.


So like every other ai then. I love ai but this is no different than what most have done


What you are referring to as "no different than what most have done" is training on public data. What Cursor did is

2) Fork a Chinese model and pretend that they trained their own model

Company with zero moat and terrible products that keeps lying to everybody
