Before ChatGPT came out, our coding approach was often search-engine-oriented: we constantly searched, then copied and pasted, commonly known as copy-paste engineers.

However, with the advent of ChatGPT, this will completely change.

ChatGPT is a natural language processing model based on artificial intelligence that can understand human language based on context and generate corresponding responses. In coding, ChatGPT can provide accurate and detailed help and hints, and can even automatically generate code. This new coding approach will completely overturn previous coding methods, greatly improving coding efficiency and accuracy, making coding more efficient, convenient, and intelligent.

Today we will introduce a free intelligent coding editor: Cursor.

The Cursor editor integrates OpenAI's GPT-4, which means it can leverage the most advanced AI technology to help us write code.

We can directly go to the Cursor official websitehttps://www.cursor.so/Download this editor, supporting three platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux.

Next, let's see how Cursor works:

Enter our requirements in the pop-up window:

Then press the Enter key, and a magical thing happens: code is generated directly:

Open this page in the browser, it displays as follows:

Then we create a main.js file and ask the editor to write some validation for user input:

After pressing Enter, the code is displayed as follows:

Currently, the Cursor editor's features are still lacking compared to some mainstream editors like VSCode, but with the rapid development of AI technology, we believe these issues will soon be resolved.

In addition, as OpenAI's technology continues to mature, GPT-4 will become more powerful and efficient, and in the future it will be integrated and applied in more editors.

Future: Copy-paste engineers shift to prompt engineers
