Which Is Better at Coding? Cursor AI or ChatGPT For Programming Comparison

Can you explain paddle please?

There are global instructions in Cursor. Settings -> General -> Rules for AI
In Features -> Docs, you can also add URL links to documentation that can be used as reference when needed.
You can also add images to chats in Cursor. Just copy image to clipboard and Ctrl+V it in chat.
And for the "cursor thing" going down in long files, you can just manually copy/paste from the chat inside cursor.

Nice explanation

Could you help clarify why I would choose to use Cursor AI over Claude AI? Cursor AI actually incorporates Claude 3.5, which is the same AI model available on their website. It even features a window for running basic code. Given these similarities, what makes Cursor AI particularly interesting or advantageous?

Subtitles say youre saying Chad GBT which is kinda hilarious.

What about using both? (says an ex-coder being tempted to get back in)

Thanks again, Corbin. I find that you're right in this. I've moved further along simply using ChatGPT as a separate helper on the sidelines. The output has been more thorough in my personal experience. Appreciate your realistic outlook on the current state of things.

No hat today Corban? Many thanks for your content...

You only talked about ctrl+k functionality, not ctrl+L

it "looks" like vscode because it's a fork of vscode lmao

ChatGPT, Claude, etc. do look through your code and retain it for at least 30 days. I'm using Cursor Ai, because of your video I watched last week - I got the Business account. Very relaxing to use.

Amazing insights❤

Corbin. It sounded like you would link to a video talking about how to customize CGPT. Did I miss it? Didn’t see it pop up during the video and I don’t see it linked here? I found myself creating a readme just for cursor and every time I used curator I’d start with saying “review the readme for context” which is very tedious. I like the idea of grounding the AI first which seems possible in CGPT?

I felt totally lost when I jumped into cursor so this video was super helpful for me to decide if I want to invest in it or just continue with GPT.

chirp, chirp, chirp

Thanks for the video. I completely agree with you for now. 🙂

can't you chat on cursor too.. ?

All sounds good but how to provide my current project as a context when using chat-gpt in chat mode similar on how I chat with cursor AI while having the codebase as context ?

AI is supposed to generate different outputs, wdym it will be different in 3 models

May I humbly and respectfully asked what screen recording tool you use? It doesn’t seem like it’s loom.

It really sounds like he's saying Chad GPT, lol

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

As others have mentioned, you completely missed the Ctrl-L function of Cursor AI.... Which is literally the chat function of Cursor, this whole verdict and conclusion is completely flawed?

I am using AI to learn arduino coding, it helps me a lot to understand the code and do fault finding but when i ask to make corresponding circuit diagram, for even simple problem, it struggles. But, It explains the circuit diagram very well. Needs improvement. Many PDF books available, Just feed the AI and improve ?

Corbin, according to your experience using these two, do you actually find that ChatGPT produces outputs (code) that is as good as Cursor?
I ask that because ChatGPT was built as a general chat application, while Cursor is specialized for programming, that difference in purpose makes a difference in how the LLM is queried (with the API requests), for example, for programming tasks (Cursor), a low "temperature" parameter is recommended, 0 or so, while for a chat application like ChatGPT, a "temperature" of 0 is not recommended, but of 0.5 to 0.8, that changes how creative and how deterministic the LLM is.

For example Aider Chat uses a temperature of 0 (which is what is recommended for programming tasks), my guess is that Cursor does the same, but for using LibreChat (ChatGPT interface alternative) using 0.5 to 0.8 or so is recommended..
