Maybe its better in some programming languages, but my experience with verilog/systemVerilog output is that it generates a design with flaws almost every time (but very confidently). If you try to correct it with prompting it comes up with reasonable sounding responses about what its fixing then just creates more wild examples.

One pretty consistent way to see this is to ask for various very simple designs like a n-bit adder, it will almost always do something logically incorrect or syntactically incorrect with the carry in or carry out

ChatGPT has acted as an advanced rubber duck for me. It outputs a lot of bullshit but so often it gives me the prompt or way of thinking needed to move on.

And it’s so much faster than posting on stack overflow or some irc. It doesn’t abuse you for asking dumb questions either.

That's an interesting approach to consider, thanks!
