Has AI gone too far? Artificial Intelligence is suddenly everywhere around us. A regular smartphone has overnight become “AI-powered". The mobile networks suddenly care about you now because they can intercept and flag potential scam and spam calls. The new generation of refrigerators can check food inventory by tracking your grocery shopping hauls. The cabs (at least in some parts of the world) don't require humans anymore to ferry you to your destination, almost mimicking the dystopian Black Mirror world.
Indian Techie Uses AI To Finish Month’s Work In 3 Hours: Why Reddit Thinks It’s A Terrible Idea
Has AI gone too far? Artificial Intelligence is suddenly everywhere around us. A regular smartphone has overnight become “AI-powered". The mobile networks suddenly care about you now because they can intercept and flag potential scam and spam calls. The new generation of refrigerators can check food inventory by tracking your grocery shopping hauls. The cabs (at least in some parts of the world) don't require humans anymore to ferry you to your destination, almost mimicking the dystopian Black Mirror world.
The truth is, AI has existed around us for a long time now. Alexa, car tech, spam not mixing with your Gmail inbox, or your smartwatch urging you to get up and take a run. There is, however, no discounting the fact that AI models have absolutely exploded in the past couple of years. Their computational capabilities, reduced errors and hallucinations compared to previous generations, higher benchmark scores, increased reliability and usability in daily life, there is no better time than now to have a premium subscription, and companies are handing them out like pastries at a Parisian cafe.
An Indian techie, perhaps aware of all the above and some, may have taken the AI “too far" after he claimed that he wrapped up a month's work in a few hours using Cursor and ChatGPT 5.
We asked OpenAI's rival Grok to provide us with a condensed version of what the new iteration of the already popular ChatGPT is to offer.
“ChatGPT 5 is an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI, designed to understand and generate human-like text with improved reasoning, speed, and accuracy over its predecessors. It can handle complex tasks, process multiple data types like text and images, and provide more natural, context-aware responses for conversations, writing, or problem-solving."
ChatGPT 5 comes in three variants: GPT 5, GPT 5 Mini- a lighter version, and the GPT 5 nano- claimed to be faster and cheaper to run on devices.
The anonymous user titled their post by writing: “GPT 5-high on cursor was able to one-shot 7 of my jira tickets in 3 hours."
Calling the job done “simply insane", the user informed the r/developersindia community that the code changes done by ChatGPT5 were sizeable.
“These were pretty sizeable code changes, one of them was 30 files worth of changes. I basically have the next 1 month's worth of work done. Will be raising PRs in instalments over the next 30 days (sic)." The user concluded their post by sarcastically stating that they were worried about their job security given how quick and hasslefree this entire process was to delegate to the AI.
Although a brief write-up, the post soon caught the attention of many and the question of feeding company codes to a personal Cursor account was raised. Cursor is a tool that assists you in writing codes. The tool is AI-powered, which is designed to understand the codebase faster, thus enabling quick turnaround time. ChatGPT and Cursor can work in tandem, where the latter can utilise ChatGPT's profound language model for coding jobs.
“Thanks to developers like you who share private company code, chatgpt is only going to get stronger," wrote one user in response.
“Your job security is threatened more by your work ethics and legality, rather than AI clearing your jiras," another exclaimed.
“You fed your company codebase to your personal cursor account. Great going."
“Ex – Auditor here. OP's getting sued soon. Hope not, but he will. That or he's working for some kind of startup that doesn't have enough money for an audit team or follow ITGC rules," a user raised an alarm.
Another curious user questioned if it was even safe to put the company's code in a random AI tool.
“Will the cursor use the company's codebase to train its models ? What does the privacy policy says about code sharing ? (sic)"
To this, the OP responded by saying, “I put it in private mode. Cursor won't train on it apparently."
Jira, an internal company tool to manage and track work (bugs, jobs, requests), is assigned to employees to finish within given deadlines. OP had 7 of them, he claimed, and the next obvious question by the folks was: “Were the codes basic?"
Throwing shade at the “flexing" OP, one wrote: “Given OPs iq, the code was probably some basic refactoring (sic)."
“It [is] node-typescript based backend. We create our jira tickets well. All the relevant context about the changes needed and the acceptance criteria is clearly specified (sic)," the Indian techie wrote.
He further claimed that he just fed the code to the AI tools and input the prompts. “I just copied it and pasted it in the prompt, and asked it to make a todo list for itself and make only precise code changes that are needed, and follow code conventions of the rest of the code base."
The OP, responding to a query, claimed that he was hired to fill the shoes of an eight-year-experience employee, while the techie had accumulated half of that work experience himself.

“I work from home, so no one really knows. And it's not an Indian company," the anonymous Reddit user cum techie cum OP claimed.
