As an electronics engineer, I have tried it for such tasks, without success. I specified requirements (only the key/rarer ones, typically 1 or 2) and asked it to find components. It failed miserably, typically just insisting that some related but much more common component satisfied the requirement. More and more apologetic as I tired to guide/coax it along.
I know that there are a few components available that satisfy the requirement, as well as several hundred that do not. And I know that the information is in digitally readable PDF files (as opposed to scans).
This specific failure might be s kind of averaging problem, where common answers around the general theme are preferred over more specific (and correct).
LLMs can also fail completely at trivial concepts such as negation, or separating between "Y above X" and "Y below X".
- mystified5016 2y agoYeah, it seems super bad when you get even just below the surface of general theory. It's not too bad at showing you how e.g. a low pass filter is calculated, but it doesn't do well at actually running the calculations. It does a pretty good job at getting you to the "draw the rest of the owl" stage
- bbourn 2y agoYou should try www.Zenode.ai and tell us what you think! We did a lot of work to show all the components that could work, and use the AI to rank them according to what would work best for your needs. We still have a TON of things to do, but as hardware engineers ourselves we've found it useful for own projects!
