Why bother with computer use at all? Did you DRC it?

I did this months before that OpenAI demo, and produced a product that many people are using without knowing it was an AI designed PCB.

It ran using kicad completely headlessly from a terminal with a bit of python and DRC'd it in a loop until it passed. I sent it to PCBWay and it worked the first go. It did take a bit, but if you just set a goal and let 'er rip the LLM gets there in the end.

Would a real EE vomit if they looked at it? Maybe. Does it work? Absolutely.
