>But I use it for the basic, boring boilerplate stuff that I just don't want to type.
The boilerplate isn't stuff you generally need AI for really if you are working professionally in electrical. You just pull-up a premade "design block" your company has standardized on.
One of the big things in electrical is you aren't reinventing the wheel each time in your design once you have products going. You re-use parts especially to get long term economy of scale pricing benefits from part vendors by using the same parts more often. This is for everything from ICs to capacitors.
These design blocks extend so far that not only could you drop in pre-made schematic circuits but also premade layout chunks in the CAD tools.
That's if you don't just open an existing schematic and just rename it to your new schematic and make changes hah
And once your overall design gets boilerplate enough, you just get outsourced. It's why no consumer and industrial power supply module design occurs in the US. That stuff has been outsourced to basically 3 or 4 Taiwanese and Chinese OEMs that just copy and paste the same design into different form factors.
