We’ve seen the sort of output that LLMs produce, it can be good but also it just makes things up. So, this might produce good designs but ones that still need to be checked by a human in the end. This sort of thing just makes humans better, we’re still at the wheel.

Or maybe it could be used as a heuristic to speed up something tedious like routing and layout (which, I don’t work in the space, but I’m under the impression that it is already pretty automated). Blah, who cares, human minds shouldn’t be subjected to that kind of thing.

The human in the loop isn’t any kind of moat for humanity and shrinking the need for a human will be the goal of any engineer trying to build these systems. Some do believe that hallucinations are inescapable from the design of LLMS, but at the same time we see systems improving so that hallucinations becomes more rare… when will it be on par with humans?
