I've been designing chips for almost 30 years.

We have a bunch of AI initiatives in my company but most of them are about using Copilot to help write scripts to automate the design flow. Our physical design flow are thousands of lines of Tcl and Python code.

The article mentions High Level Synthesis. I've been reading about this since my first job in the 1990's. I've worked on at least 80 chips and I've never seen any chip use one of these tools except for some tiny section that was written by some academics who didn't want to learn Verilog for reasons.
