Lol it's always cute to see the amount of confidence that people have for AI when they can't tell if the work it did is actually good.
I don't think that's quite fair - this guy is clearly quite familiar with CPU design, it's very easy to run coremark, dhrystone, etc. to get a decent idea of performance, and for verification there's a reference model written in Sail you can compare against (though tbf it sounds like he didn't). AI is good at writing large test corpuses these days too.
So I would say it is relatively easy to tell if a vibe coded RISC-V CPU is actually good today. It's not like non-vibe coded RISC-V CPUs were amazingly well verified before anyway (except Ibex anyway). Even CVA6 has had some embarrassing bugs.
I expect this is a decent RISC-V core, but I also expect I could make one just as easily.
