Maybe not. It understands data sheets, and seems to be able to connect the dots based on probabilities around connecting components together. If you don't ask it to do large-scale design tasks, it's okay at narrowly scoped tasks like this.

If it's wrong, you can determine that during simulation. You could also assert that in the background, I suppose — prune the bunk suggestions by the language model before presenting them.

In my own experiments I find GPT can succeed in complex tasks if you prompt it multiple times at different steps of the task, and have some level of recursive validation and re-prompting to keep it in line. In a case like this I have a feeling it would do a great job, and would be especially useful for the discovery/exploration phase of a new project.
