Dear Google, Please Don't Ever Mention Doom Again

At Google I/O 2026, Varun Mohan showed Antigravity trying to boot an OS and run Doom.

When it failed because of missing video and keyboard drivers, the tool added them and successfully launched Freedoom.

The article says the moment felt more like a demo fix than a breakthrough, and uses it to criticize Google’s AI pitch as uninspiring.

It contrasts Google’s showcase with Doom’s lasting originality, arguing today’s AI tools feel derivative by comparison.
