  Dude says in the post that he just wanted to see what happened. If idle experimentation makes one an imbecile, then I suspect your standards for stupidity are out of line with reality.

    There’s not much point in sending it to be manufactured when it would fail DRC and a quick visual inspection. Experimenting is fun but there was no point wasting the money to make it when it clearly isn’t a working PCB.

      The point was to post a picture of it, not to get a working PCB.

      It probably cost 5 dollars max including shipping for a funny joke object.

    If you would experiment with PCBs, you would start with using a breadboard, no? This is just throwing money at something and hoping that something sticks.

      But then you wouldn’t have a photo to show the world.

        The photo is as good as a 3d render of the PCB in KiCAD.

    So you’re saying it generated the schematic and the pcb… and then they didn’t look at all?

    Or that they did and didn’t see what was wrong with it?

    They absolutely deserve to be the butt of jokes. I bet they let the robot summarise books for them.

    He had an ai slop that pcb design out and then had it shipped from China. Even if they’re perfectly fine wasting their own time, shipping isn’t free

      Have you ordered things from China? They practically pay you for the shipping.

        I wasn’t referring to monetary costs

  I read it as satire. Is it not?

    It’s a dude just messing around to see what happened.

    It, most probably, is. But very stupid satire.

  I’d argue this has incredible artistic value. And I think that was the point.

  Hell, both Gemini and Claude have done well for me in throwing some code together for simple apps, but I still looked it over before running it. I try to do that for even human-made open source code, although at least in principle, if it's been up a while, others have at least tried it and given feedback.

  I'm sure this is just a joke or a proof of the issue; you'd have to look at the PDF or whatever it gives and see that something is way off.

  And for the record, the best code that I've gotten from an LLM has been the first few runs of an idea, one that was thoroughly explained in the prompt. If you put together a vague prompt and continue to add to it, it will get worse quickly, with the LLM even changing parts that were perfectly fine. Maybe turning the temperature down, if possible, will help with that randomness, but it's always better to keep sessions short and precise.
