    CURSOR - KI demo → https://cursor.com/

    This project shows how a Node.js application was transformed into a Tcl/Tk application using CURSOR AI.

    The Node.js code and the Tcl/Tk code were written solely by the AI and tested (approved) by the developer. When a problem arose,
    the developer instructed the AI to resolve the issue via chat (text) or uploading a file (image), which ALWAYS worked. What is
    currently NOT offered (or used) is direct voice commands from the developer to the AI, which would of course speed up the
    interaction even further.

    The AI initially used the "pack" manager, but the developer pointed the AI toward the "grid" manager, which was then immediately
    used in the project. This shows that a developer is still necessary to optimize the result.

    The AI easily rewritten the code, completely redesigned the file system layout, wrote the documentation, and migrated this demo
    to GitHub.

    This is technically impressive, but can we still name him a developer ?

    I have of late been experimenting with the Claude AI.

    I discussed one of my projects with it and asked it to provide a summary which it did pretty well. It created it using the markdown format.

    I then asked it to convert that markdown format to a tcl wiki page, which it was able to do, needing only one correction, it was using !! instead of ** etc. I then was able to paste that into a wiki page and it got it right. Quite a time saver!

    CURSOR is not perfect, the developer is required to test the application and to identify the misbehavior.
