Can ChatGPT Generate Circuit Components?

[Music] foreign [Music] the first thing you need to do is start with some CAD software in the CAD software there's typically two components layout which is the physical arrangement of the components the traces the routing I.E the connections and whatnot the schematic capture is The Logical arrangement of the components the schematic capture is effectively an assortment of components all linked together with wires each component represents a physical component so it might be a resistor capacitor diode or integrated circuit creating these components is called component creation this can be very laborious work especially when you get into components that are 100 plus pins with all the recent hype surrounding Chad GPT I'm going to try to use it to create components the 555 timer is probably one of the most famous integrated circuits ever created here I have a manually generated component so I'm going to show you this in so this structured text here corresponds to this component here so this is a simple nothing component that I've just labeled 555 man for no particular reason this gives an example of what the actual Syntax for a component kind of looks like let's ask it if we can create any component you know what five times yes I'm familiar 505 timer blah blah blah so can you create icon symbol s sure okay so obviously that doesn't look like this at all this correct syntax or uh she's no longer using gaikon some more certainly okay that looks correct okay so let's copy let's copy this go over to the podcast screen over here okay I understand you probably can't read this here but it's not super important um so in Kai Kats this is generated.con symbol so I should have a file here uh Library here so this is what chat gbt just generated for me oh it's just repeated so okay yeah so sometimes it seems to cut off code if it's too long so you have to say continue but it's just gone ahead and repeated some code here so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna manually remove the Redundant information okay so it took it that time let's go back to the symbol editor move this onto this screen close that generated cool so there's nothing there [Music] um so here's the here's what Kai CAD generated for me so here's what chat GPT generated for me okay so yeah here's the problem the pins here they need to be wrapped in this additional they need to be wrapped in a symbol block so let's say the pins to be wraps and should be wrapped inside you're correct okay so I'm gonna start putting this in here okay after all this time I finally got the 555 timer generated it's actually it looks terrible but it's actually pretty impressive so all the pins are wrong but I mean the fact that it I didn't tell it about the trigger control discharge and they're all well it's pretty wrong but okay what else should I tell it to generate something that wouldn't be in Kai kit already like in the library because 555 timer is already in the library let's go to integrated circuits let's just pick a random book the opt-in show us this IC op amp general purpose so ic8 okay so do you No Doubt lm35 HDR 2G okay so it knows about it symbol certainly oh this is getting scary now okay so what do we have let's take a look at this part's data so this is a dual opt-in what did you get did you get the pins right okay so it has eight pins no it has oh this is so weird okay so it's just listed out of order so let's see pin eight let's pin eight ground no pin 8 is VCC so that was pretty interesting is an AI about to replace Hardware developers not yet however the fact that it was able to take a pretty loose description of a component being 555 timer op amp and at least understand the amount of pins and those pin names is pretty impressive in my opinion one thing to understand is that these language models are going to improve at an exponential rate so in one two three five years I wouldn't be surprised if we see AIS that can basically generate components and eventually we're going to see AIS that can generate entire circuits and do layouts and eventually we may not need Hardware designers at all but that's up to you let me know what you think in the comments section below and if you like this type of video like And subscribe this is a new channel so it means a lot to me

I asked it to explain a circuit that could give me a waveform of x using ABC components, it tried but it glitched out. I didn't try very hard though, I'm sure if I walked it through what I wanted it could have done it.
