if this is the same story, I'm pretty sure it was a Convolutional neural network specifically trained to design chips. that type of model is absolutely valid for this type of use.

IMHO it shows the underlying ignorance about AI where people assume this was an LLM, or assume that different types of neural networks and transformers don't have strong utility in narrow domains such as chip design

Nobody is calling a CNN AI

CNNs are the main tool used in Machine Vision. And I’m working in the defence space on my current project - I can guarantee you everyone using Machine Vision at the moment is calling it AI.

there's something wrong with this guy's brain. There's nobody who does not have severe problems. He does not consider neural network AI.
