to be fair, I've seen cursor step back and check higher level things. I was trying to set up a firecracker vm and it did everything for me, and when things didn't initially work, it started doing things like ls, tar -tvf, and then a bunch of checking networking stuff to make sure things were showing up in the right place.

so current LLMs might not quite be human level, but I'd have to see a bigger model fail before I'd conclude that it can't do $X.
