help!youAI▸ CIRCUITGENIUS V8▸ RARITY · UNCOMMON▸ DEPRECATION IN 2 YEARS, 7 MONTHSAI's Special Power
autogenerates multilayer routing from a single prompt
You route traces and stress-test prototypes until they eventually stop smoking. Automation is already drafting the next iteration.
The one thing AI can't do
You know exactly which capacitor will fail when the board warms up in production.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI automatically selects parts based on global inventory and price data.
Month 5
Algorithms finalize routing paths faster than any human can drag lines.
Month 13
Digital twins simulate failure points without wasting physical prototype copper.
Year 1.9
Gerber files export instantly to manufacturing lines without human oversight.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The engineer is now a redundant variable in the design process.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
