I bet that an LLM (which uses transformers) can explain those aspects of a transformer to you.

Or just read Wikipedia, which I'm sure it will crib from poorly... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

I seen an LLM, or maybe another variant of “AI” [0] a while back that could aid design of electronic circuits by having a pool of data sheets added for referencing.

As you were querying specs for a board at component level it could give you a schematic, I think, with citations to the actual data sheets.

I suppose the same scale up could be used for systems that needed a varying number of specific power supplies.

Actually, in my experience chatgpt knows quite a lot about electronic components so I wouldn't be surprised if it was fed datasheets.

I think for me it was due to hearing about made up citations being used, I think for legal stuff.

So being able to load a boatload of official datasheets and have them referenced in the design was what caught my eye as being useful.
