Opus is so bad at electrical work it's really disappointing. And when it tries to draw schematics as SVGs it's a complete disaster. They should either focus on training their LLMs on this task specifically, or have it refuse.

Hmm, what kind of electrical work? I had it "watch over my shoulder" as I swapped out the pressure switch on our home well and it was a big help. And in the run up to that when I explained opening the 220 box and checking that was "above my paygrade" it limited our investigation to just the less sparky parts.

I mean introductory circuit stuff. Not electrician-lite work.

You ain’t gotta be sniffy about it, English.

have it write python porogram to generate the svgs. then use the program. circuit diagrams are rrlatively thin corpus but it knows how ciruits work sufficently to write a program.

Is there a good pre-existing DSL for this task?

SVG is like asking an electrician to give you a circuit diagram by painting a watercolor

I'd try something like CircuiTikZ with instructions provided

I honestly cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not

It did try and lead me to touch a live hot wire once. Thanking the safety team for the honest and sincere apology it gave after was sarcasm.

It tried to get you touch a live wire, then you called it honest and thanked the safety team. It really comes off as sarcastic.

So you can tell.
