AI seems to be everywhere — how did you personally get into it?

I’ll be honest, AI is one area I haven’t really gone deep into yet.

I keep seeing it pop up in all kinds of discussions and projects, but it feels a bit overwhelming to know where to even start.

For those who’ve actually worked with it or use it regularly — how did you first get into AI in a practical way?

Wrong forum for that subject matter.

This forum is dedicated to the analog and mixed-signal simulation tool - Qorvo Qspice. Anything beyond this topic is considered off-topic.

If I assume your question is about your personal use of AI in SPICE simulation, here is my personal experience up to now:

  1. It is unreliable for SPICE simulation or circuit design. The AI-generated context about electronics circuits or SPICE netlists, in general, often turns out to be incorrect or useless.
  2. It is definitely helpful in programming. When working with DLL-devices (C++ blocks), I can receive useful code and suggestions from the AI. While it may not handle entire code segments as Qspice usage is unique, it is a great resource when tackling unfamiliar code segments.
  3. It excels in “commenting on code.” After I finish coding, I may ask the AI engine to generate comments for code lines. So far, most comments are generated correctly.
  4. I have multiple projects involving complex mathematics, and the AI can provide me with very useful information or help me derive and solve mathematical problems.

The most critical aspect to be cautious about is that you should always verify and consider its responses. The AI never admits when it doesn’t know something and always strives to provide answers with confidence, but turn of to be wrong. If you abandon critical thinking and blindly accept its answers, you may encounter issues. In summary, for circuits or SPICE-related tasks, it is not particularly useful; however, for programming and mathematics, it is a valuable aid.
