Sure, but the utility of that for PCB design wasn't demonstrated in the article. This is an expert going out of his way to give the LLM a task it can't fumble (and still does, a bit).

Forget about the article. Try it yourself. Set aside 5 or 10 minutes to ask any LLM of your choice to generate a LLM prompt to generate PCBs. Iterate over your prompt before using it to generate your PCB. See the result for yourself.

Yeah, it's trash. Just as one would expect.
