Agentic IDEs like Cursor track usage and how much of the code is LLM vs human generated.
Which probably means it tracks every single keystroke inside it. Which rightfully looks like a privacy and/or corporate code ownership nightmare.
But hey at least our corporate overlords are happy to see the trend go up. The fact that we tech people were all very unsubtly threatened into forced agentic IDEs usage despite vocal concerns about code quality drop, productivity losses and increasing our dependence on US tech (especially openly nazi tech) says it all.
For your code, sure. How do you know someone else's code is LLM generated?
Because it's a surveillance state baby. Everything is uploaded to a central server so our corporate overlords can monitor our usage.
Not mine, I run my own 😜
