As the world burns around us because of corporations chasing AI with seemingly unlimited resources, we ought to see what all this commotion has bought us. Recently, the folks over at Ars Technica put four of the most popular AI coding agents to the test, with a deceptively simple ask: build Minesweeper for the web. The clone had to include sound effects, mobile touchscreen support, and a "fun" gameplay twist.
For those unaware, Minesweeper relies on logic, which dictates gameplay, along with reasonable enough UI/UX elements that combine to make a decent challenge. It's not exactly hard to make a Minesweeper clone, but its underlying mechanics require at least some level of ingenuity that usually comes from humans — after all, AGI is the goal, right?
