Would Cursor tab assisted code be considered AI generated? I feel like that was the epitome of AI assisted but quality code

Yeah, they kind of hit on this in their main post:

> If I use a generative AI tool to create 100 lines of code, and then edit ten of those lines myself, may I contribute the result?

> No. Your contribution would still include, in part, AI-generated code.

I totally agree with you on this! The engineer is still actively engaging while getting the performance gains of not having to type out functions. The Engineer is still in charge vs agentic "engineering" a model + harness can spit out whatever and the engineer is left to review tons and tons of code

Yes. AI involved.
