      Yeah I’m wondering what the purpose was for actually having this thing fabricated. What point was he trying to make.

          I get that, but you could have come to the same conclusion just by looking at the schematics. You don’t need to actually have the thing fabricated to make that point.

            I get it as well, but some people need something a bit more solid to realise just how stupid something is. I haven’t looked at circuits since high school, but if I see something that just straight up doesn’t work, that’s undeniable.

            He could have received the same board by having an intern or high school electronics student design it with no oversight.

            He also could have sent the result to another AI with the prompt “point out all the errors in this design and tell me if we should have it printed”.

            This was just a dumb “hur hur, AI bad stunt”

              An unsupervised high school electronics student could easily design a PCB to power a LED via USB power. It’s an extremely easy task to accomplish, which is why it was picked.

                Even someone with no training would put the USB port in a better position.
