boxcake··on AI agent designs a complete RISC-V CPU from 219-word spec sheet in just 12 hours
Ok - but what was it trained on? How much was copied from source material and how much was novel.

I could train a model that creates Shakespearean plays with a 10 word prompt - a 219 word spec is pretty meaningless for a model specifically trained on prior architectures, and specifically for this task.

I think this sounds more impressive than it is.

Isn't any answer to a question which hasn't been previously answered a derivative work? Or when a human write a parody of a song, or when a new type of music is influenced by something which came before.
