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.
Comment on Behold: A vibe-designed pcb
PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 1 day agoDude 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.

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.

Physical items are tangible, makes them more memorable.

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

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.
