I've been playing around with ChatGpt. I had a question about a circuit, so I described it to ChatGPT in detail. Yes, it found a problem so I corrected it. But I realized describing a complex netlist can get very tedious. So I asked it what schematic files or net lists it understood. As it turns out, it understands SPICE files. They're simple text files and most CAD software can export it.
I use KiCad, so I tried exporting a simple circuit as SPICE. I had a few problems exporting the model of a transistor, but I finally solved that issue. Now I can export complex netlists with no problem. ChatGpt can understand my netlists and tell me if I have any obvious design problems. This is better than running a simulation because it seems to understand specific component behavior and quickly tells me if I've designed out of tolerance circuits and will suggest better components.
