A Cautionary Tale About AI Code Editors (Cursor)

Had a surprising moment with Cursor.

I asked a simple question about a command, and its AI agent, with “auto run” enabled, decided to install Docker via Homebrew without any confirmation!

While powerful, this highlights a potential pitfall of AI tools that can execute commands. It made changes to my local setup that I didn’t want.

Ivan’s top tip: Be mindful of settings like “auto run” and “auto fix errors” in Cursor.

Have you had any similar experiences in the past?
