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.
@@MostlyPeacefulNinja Long story - Coded for my PhD, then used specialist scripting tools for work, then a career in R&D/IP. ChatGPT (and TH-camrs like Corbin) taught me about modern platforms. Claude re-awoke an interest in coding - Cursor could be the next step. Enjoying it all
@@MostlyPeacefulNinja I dont want to hijack Corbin's channel - but your curiosity brings up an interesting point about the explosion of Generative AI. I have completely changed my value to the organisation that I work for after 27 years. I retrained myself over the last 18 months - and am now contracted to work on GAI.....even at the tender age on 62 we can (and will have to) adapt!!!
@@humphuk Oh wow. That’s cool. You seem to still be young at heart and willing to learn. I’m literally like half your age and I hope I’m still curious and open to learning new things when I grow up 😀
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 ?
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.
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..
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.
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?
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. 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?
@@Corbin_Brown Corbin, I saw you had an older video covering MS Copilot vs CGPT. In the context of someone like myself who doesn't come with a development background, I was curious if you've ever compared the recent 4o CGPT vs GitHub co pilot? (Not to be confused with MS Copilot? Or, are they the same? I saw you do an older video comparing MS and CGPT.) Secondary question how do you know which true AI "backend" each of these "AIs" are using?
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?

interesting. that's what i was thinking actually. your comparison made things clearer
Great comparison! Thanks!
May I humbly and respectfully asked what screen recording tool you use? It doesn’t seem like it’s loom.
What about using both? (says an ex-coder being tempted to get back in)
What are you doing now, after leaving coding?

@@humphuk Nice! Glad to hear. I’m happy for you. Was just curious if you were now in a totally different field

Subtitles say youre saying Chad GBT which is kinda hilarious.
Chad Developer 😎
Unfiltered AI at its finest. Chad Growing Better Teacher…lol

Check out this video to use ChatGPT in the context of coding; I find this performs well with great outputs:

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.
You only talked about ctrl+k functionality, not ctrl+L
Indeed. Ctrl+L allows to chat and send pictures
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?
Nice explanation
Amazing insights❤
can't you chat on cursor too.. ?
chat gpt is better 02:00
no need to watch it all if you just wonder which is better
Can you explain paddle please?
Thanks for the video. I completely agree with you for now. 🙂
No hat today Corban? Many thanks for your content...
The hat will come back, haha!
AI is supposed to generate different outputs, wdym it will be different in 3 models
claude 3.5
It really sounds like he's saying Chad GPT, lol
it "looks" like vscode because it's a fork of vscode lmao
How can I slow u down? :) you are so fast...
