There are NES emulators aplenty, the only value in writing a new one is pedagogic, for the writer.

This endeavor had negative net value.

It demonstrated the capabilities of an AI to a potentially on-the-fence audience while giving the author experience using the new tools/environment. That's solid value. I also just find it really cool to see that an AI did this.

    Yeah, it shows the AI is not capable of writing maintainable projects. I'm off the fence. And its cool you find it cool, but reducing the problem space to that of a toy project makes it so much less impressive as to be trivially ignorable.

    The new LLM (pattern recognizer/matcher) is not a good tool
