Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, is doing something unexpected for one of the biggest names in tech: casually building web apps with AI coding assistants.
“I wish I could do more,” Pichai said on Wednesday at Bloomberg Tech in San Francisco.
“I’ve just been messing around — either with Cursor or I vibe coded with Replit — trying to build a custom webpage with all the sources of information I wanted in one place. I could type a location and get it all,” Pichai said.
Maybe he can write some more Google products that he can then turn around and cancel.

Replace the CEO with AI
We don’t even need complex AI to replace CEOs
One ruby script can easily:
- Lie to the public
- Tell shareholders to buy more stock
- Shift blame when a product horrifically disfigures someone
- Lobby Congress
- Lay off thousands of employees and take a fat bonus
That last one is why, have you ever tried getting a bank account in the name of a script?
The US courts gave corporations person-hood, AI just around the corner.
I’ve been messing around with vibe-painting, myself. Damn it feels good to be an artist.
Sounds like an appropriate use of time for a person in his position. AI obsolete the CEO, please.
Something I hadn’t considered. AI coding is going to convince managers that they were right all along — that coding can be quick and easy and engineers are just lazy.
For a while at least.
