Suck at what aspect of (analog) electronics specifically? Not contradicting the claim, just want to understand it.
I have not tested yet, but I suspect that LLMs with a harness that can execute code can do SPICE simulations rather ok these days? I have seen MCPs for measurement equipment also, maybe they can even close the physical loop?
spice is a very bad simulation. it's not like a unit test or a VM. it works very differently to the real thing, only approximating it in some highly controlled situations.
