I guess it doesn't matter if a few people are annoyed, if the end result of these things is a new increase in conversions. But I wish "don't annoy people" was actually in the product requirements.

I recently used ChatGPT to find a part. Maybe this was an anomalous result, but it was wrong. Don't know if this will be an issue with your project. Me: Is there a digital to analog converter with an 8V analog range and serial input? CGPT: Yes, there are several digital-to-analog converters (DACs) available with an 8V analog range and serial input. One example is the AD5541A DAC from Analog Devices. It has a 16-bit r…

Why on earth would you call this "copilot" when GitHub has already long established that as a name in this space? :I
I believe aviators have been using it longer.
From this landing page's headline & 1st paragraph, I was still thinking they were talking about the broader-market, better-known Github Copilot – also a for-pay LLM-driven coding assistant! – in some way. In the 2nd paragraph, I saw they were just reusing the name of someone else's LLM coding assistant for something different that they independently trained.
Note also the current submission headline here is "ChatGPT for Hardware Design", not the page's "AI For Hardware Design with Copilot".
Did the submitter not use the usually-requested original page title, because they knew `Copilot` would be misunderstood? (They created another misunderstanding via their change: ChatGPT is only an analogy for what Flux.ai's product is doing, rather than a contributing part of the system.)
Engineer on the team here. Some of the interesting challenges of doing ChatGPT for circuit design were: 1) How to communicate the circuit connections to ChatGPT in the text prompt. We ended up just using the standard netlist format. Apparently it knows about netlists from its training data. It also knows about datasheets. 2) How to get the needed accuracy and precision for questions like "calculate the resistance nee…
Out of curiosity, I noticed in the video that it recommended for a voltage regulator either an LM7805 or an LM1117 - either a super inefficient 5V regulator that has no business in new designs, or a 1.2V low-dropout 800mA regulator that is probably not appropriate to the other components it recommended (i.e. an LM7805 -> LM1117 would be 36% efficient at best). It then also recommends a LiPo battery with a nominal 3.7…
Some personal questions it refused to answer or give suggestions because "only you can decide" was the response.
I'm very suspicious of all this. I'm thinking the only real benefit--some may say--is the chat aspect. You can carry on a conversation rather than having to determine a proper Google search over and over again.
Which makes me think there is some hype involved.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, this seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Rename it to 'Solder' or something before that happens.
GitHub doesn’t own the copilot trademark. I would actually like to have these assistants called “copilots” instead of “coding LLM”. Since these are going to be a part of our lives let’s use a useful and memorable name.
Oh and something that can read datasheets for me, and extract important parameters (or convert them to spice models).
A tool that can hunt for cheap components would also be nice.
Apart from that, I don't think I like to have any fuzziness in my workflow.

Most "annoyance blocker" filterlists get these. In this case it's intercom.io which I block with Adguard's Annoyances lists: https://adguard.com/kb/general/ad-filtering/adguard-filters/
