Did Google’s AI agents really build an operating system for $916?

SMRTR summary

Google claimed its AI agents built an entire operating system for just $916 using a single prompt, but several red flags raise doubts. The "single prompt" turned out to be thousands of lines long, human intervention was never clearly defined, and Google never checked whether the agents copied existing code from the internet. Without releasing the prompt, code, or logs, the claim cannot be independently verified.
