AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead (arstechnica.com)

… the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly."

The AI didn't stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that "Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities."

Hilarious.

It's kind of like that guy that cheated in chess.

A toy vibrates with each correct statement you write.

Like that chess guy?

Which is a reddit theory and it was never proven that he cheated, regardless of the method.
