    Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.

    The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.

    The context window can’t handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.

      Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it’s creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it’s not because it’s doing anything advanced, it’s just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.
