    I see this as worse for junior engineers than senior. Right now junior engineers don't have the experience to spot issues, ans if gpt-synopsys gives an answer they don't know to question it. It Will also be better than many junior engineers out of the box.. So junior engineers dont get a chance to learn and progress to senior. Senior engineers (for now) will interact with these agents and review the output, ans can direct them. Again, until it becomes better at that.

    Interesting times. A lot has happened in a year..where will we be a year from now?

      A junior engineer can interrogate the heck out of the clanker and learn faster than they would otherwise.

        A proprietary LLM developed to run these proprietary tools might just maybe have guards in place to prevent it from telling you any details about what it's doing, lest you learn enough to not need that LLM
