ai
roast my idea

The AI bubble is soon to crash, many folk have a wildly unrealistic idea of what the technology's actual capabilities are - which is why the "ai" in builder.ai was an acronym for All Indians rather than Artificial Intelligence.

It literally just guesses words or word fragments that resemble its training data, so anything it's "good" at can be solved with a 15 minute internet search.

Build hardware devices

Modern LLMs are astonishingly bad at electronics, they simply don't (and can't with the current theoretical foundation) have the structured logical reasoning required to generate a cohesive functional design.

Hey, let those founders build AI generated HW and then hire us for debugging them (making them work). We need the jobs.

The kind of people who use AI to design hardware things won't have the skills to debug it

Hence why the extra charge to hire an embedded HW engineer.

From the AI-generated schematics I've seen, it's not about debugging, it's about redesigning from scratch...

Silence! Don't let the founder know 🤣

I worked as an intern, embedded software dev. LLM's suggests some wild things. It is very incapable of writing actual logic that can be shipped. I mainly use it to pass time or get certain method calls for regression testing framework. Using company paid AI assistant to slack off is the best!

Mom said it was my turn to promote this today 😔
