I’m curious what kinds of projects you’ve seen firmware written for. The YouTube projects I’ve seen usually don’t require more than a handfull of if-statements on an Arduino to accomplish what they need.
In my experience, LLMs are capable of solving the kinds of problems you could have copy-pasted from StackOverflow, but as soon as you try and do something too complicated or unique, it falls apart.
The trap is that it seems capable at a surface level in areas people aren’t personally an expert in and then assume it can accomplish real tasks on its own like an expert. It can be great as a tool for getting started, or for otherwise throwaway code, but I’ve yet to see any model produce code that’s complex yet maintainable in the long term.
