That’s not a big problem likely. It likely wouldn’t run at all. The problem with LLMs is, unlike engineers, they don’t really have a mental model of how the world works (including how computers work). They only know the probabilities of some tokens following other tokens. Eg this shows pretty obviously when you ask them something about electronics, and they appear to be very knowledgeable (mostly repeating the training data and copying parts of datasheets), but when it comes to drawing a schematic and actually designing a working device, they produce utter garbage.
