Buulding a VM is not a beginner task. You can get going if you have some basic understanding of various things, but getting anything half decent tends towards being a research project.

e.g. Scheme, Lua, etc.

AI, as it stands, screws up the basics, let alone something if this scope. It has no formal reasoning. A virtual machine is a formal reasoning engine.

Do you have examples?

Ask the LLM for examples of LLMs fucking up on simple tasks. Either it succeeds, proving the point, or fails, also proving the point.

I had both GPT-4o and llama3.1, through duck.ai, make up kscreen-doctor commands the other day. Commands that were easily formatted by simply looking at the output of kscreen-doctor --help.
