Why bother with computer use at all? Did you DRC it?

I did this months before that OpenAI demo, and produced a product that many people are using without knowing it was an AI designed PCB.

It ran using kicad completely headlessly from a terminal with a bit of python and DRC'd it in a loop until it passed. I sent it to PCBWay and it worked the first go. It did take a bit, but if you just set a goal and let 'er rip the LLM gets there in the end.

Would a real EE vomit if they looked at it? Maybe. Does it work? Absolutely.

I think “it works” is a very low standard for any creative work you set out to do, professionally or as a hobby. Possibly the lowest standard. We should aim higher in all things.

		He released a product, not a PCB. For him that's probably not the part where his creativity is focused on.

		Believe it or not "it works" is actually incredibly high standard. Many commercial products are released after meeting the "I can't believe it works" threshold.

		Ok good luck with taking that attitude to the marketplace
