Why is cursor ai so dumb about amplify gen 2? When trying to create an app, it keeps trying to implement amplify gen 1 code even though i keep telling it not do and also it keeps editing and deleting database resources schema. Anyone else run in to this?
On the same boat as you. Cursor is basically useless. Looks like the web scrap was done when Gen 1 was the only game in town and it has not been updated since.
I see this is quite old now but just wanted to add that I’ve been working with Amplify Gen2 with Cursor recently and it’s been working okay. I have a Next.js application, data, storage, AI, and working with some Lambda functions now. Seems to be hard to keep the AI on task with Amplify Gen2 but with .47 the rules seem to be working better for context. I was curious if anyone else was working with Amplify and saw this post. Also the AWS documentation is not great so trying to use it as a reference has been challenging, that’s not Cursor’s fault.
Also building with Next.js on Amplify Gen2 with some lambda functions. Same issue with focus on task. The longer the conversation gets the worse the business logic becomes. I tend to use Claude for small misalignment in business logic task and Gemini 2.5 for bigger project refactoring analysis. It breaks down and explains much better then Claude. Gemini also loses focus once the conversation gets long.
