If an AI system autonomously built a rocket and went to the moon, would you call it unimpressive because it's already been done? The moving of goalposts is shocking.

As I explained elsewhere in this thread, the results here are more like trying to launch a rocket to the moon, unleashing AI on the problem, and settling for some kind of giant firecracker as a POC.

This isn't a POC web engine; it's throw-away code that can never scale to a full web engine.

So instead of wasting millions on this autonomous run, they should have put together a small team of people with some ideas on how to improve on existing web engines, and then give that team a large token development budget. You could get a nice POC after a couple of weeks, and after a year or two of further iterations you might have something really interesting.

So this is a great example of how AI fails when left unsupervised; a more interesting experiment would be about how a small team can leverage AI to leapfrog Chromium; not in one week but in a year or two.
