    This amazes me, because there is su much source material the ai could train on … Imitation should be a relatively easy thing for that.

      He used Claude which is an LLM, to build a. Circuit board which has not much to do with language. If course it wasn’t trained om PCBs.

        Let’s assume they used something like kicad then clause could have learned from the available source files. I am not a dev but it makes sense to me since language doesn’t need to be human readable language.

          Wouldn’t this be like asking an LLM to generate and svg image? Yes, technically it’s xml, but will it make sense when it’s rendered? Only if the model was specifically trained to understand svg. I never heard of kicad before, i assume it’s even more niche.

            More sense than the believable bullshit it puts out as words? Nope. But enough to create something that resembles a Gerber file.

            But maybe the little hallucinations are the backwards USB port …so who knows.

      I’m particularly amazed by the PCB company.

      Did they not read the schematics and ask “bro are you fucking 100% sure”?

      Or is it all fully automated?

      Astounding in either case.
