Can confirm. AI is worse than useless for embedded systems.

I was working with Yocto on a very specialized xilinx chip. I had chatGPT makeup a chapter that didn't exist (in a manual that did), reference non-existent paragraphs from said chapter, and then argue with me quite confidently that that chapter was real and the information it was giving me was accurate.

ChatGPT can make ridiculous claims about what it can do. It sometimes even says that it does real world things when it’s laughably impossible.
