Last year, OpenAI cofounder and former exec Andrej Karpathy coined the term \u201cvibe coding,\u201d a new approach involving the rapid development of software by feeding an AI model a series of natural language prompts.<\/p>\n

But the popular approach comes with some glaring shortcomings, as evidenced in an entirely vibe-coded operating system, dubbed Vib-OS. The project, which is being hosted on GitHub<\/a>, can be run on ARM64 and x86-based computers, features a \u201ccustom kernel,\u201d a \u201cmodern macOS-inspired graphical user interface,\u201d and a \u201cvirtual file system.\u201d<\/p>\n

And yes, in case you were wondering, the project claims in its possibly AI-generated documentation that you can play Doom on it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But as a YouTuber who goes by Tirimid discovered in a recent video<\/a>, the operating system, at least in its current state, is a buggy and largely unusable mess, once again highlighting the limitations of relying on vibe-coding to quickly construct complex pieces of software.<\/p>\n

The iconic demon-slaying shooter Doom also appears to be conspicuously absent. A launcher icon for the iconic game didn\u2019t react at all to Tirimid\u2019s enthusiastic mouse clicks, suggesting the AI may have hallucinated the feature altogether.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber spent several hours agonizingly going through the operating system\u2019s purported features, and found that it failed to connect to the internet, buttons in the File Manager didn\u2019t respond to clicks, the Notepad app refused to save any documents, and games, such as the dumb phone era classic Snake, didn\u2019t work very well at all.<\/p>\n

An app labeled \u201cBrowser,\u201d incredibly, turned out to be an image viewer, not a web browser that can render websites.<\/p>\n

Despite the documentation noting that the OS was capable of running Python scripts, Tirimid was also disappointed to find there was no support for the programming language.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really found this operating system interesting,\u201d he concluded in his video. \u201cIt was quite an absolute pain to set up to really get everything going, but once I did, it was just kind of shocking in a way. I really expected this to actually be at least reasonably usable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is actually a pretty featureless operating system,\u201d he added. \u201cAlthough I guess it is still interesting that AI can get an operating system running at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netizens were amused by the YouTuber\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou found an early build of Windows 12,\u201d one commenter wrote, referring to Microsoft\u2019s ongoing efforts to control the narrative<\/a> following the massive blowback<\/a> to its insistence on AI.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up note he posted in the comments of his video, Tirimid begged others not to harass the creators of Vib-OS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was somewhat negative about many parts of this OS, but please don\u2019t go to the repo and be negative in the issues or whatever,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Whether advancements in AI will one day allow models to build actually usable operating systems and other sophisticated software remains to be seen. But it\u2019s certainly a future tech leaders want us to believe in, as they continue to make massive investments in AI and lay off thousands of workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
