    @bakuninboys I had wondered about electronics, but I wasn't sure about the existence of some kind of code/language to describe circuits that would be used.

    See also, assembly language. Why are people getting LLMs to output Python, why not just cut to the chase and have them produce highly optimised machine code? The same reason as you say - there is no corpus of highly annotated machine code to train them on.

    @jimbob there are but HDL is the closest to being "open". EDA tools will come with a language too, but I dont know if there's a standard. Generally it's used for simulation or "debugging". From what I've seen, LLMs only really know JavaScript. They'll write other languages, but really they're trying to write as JavaScriptey code as possible. They don't abstract or modularise. Someone I know called them a "word calculator" and that's pretty close. A word calculator which makes mistakes.
