    without AI. Same amount of work

    You want me to write an entire library for a brand new sensor that just came off the market, by parsing through and reading a hundred page datasheet manual, understanding i2c or SPI communication timings, configuration packets, etc…

    When I can just drag and drop the PDF into ChatGPT and say “make a library for this sensor” and it spits out something that has been working without issue for the past 2 years?

    Why? Why would I be that stupid?

      I hear crazy claims like this but haven’t seen anything close to this with my own eyes (yet).

      I shudder at the idea that SPI or i2c are considered complex for someone supposed to interact with hardware. What will you do if a problem arises and you don’t even know which pin does what?
