Is deepseek weak on circuit design? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've tried using deepseek (first time I've ever used an LLM, so maybe I'm being dumb) to help me a little with designing some circuit because my reference book was leaving out a LOT of crucial information.

The results have been ... subpar. The model seems to be making quite elementary mistakes, like leaving floating components with missing connections.

I'm honestly kinda disappointed. Maybe this is a weak area for it. I've probably had to tell deepseek more about designing the circuit in question than it has told me.

Edit: I realised I was just being dumb, since LLMs aren't designed for this task.

Though I'm not in electronics, I am in software development, and I have tried using various language models for basic circuit development for very small side hobbies, and I have found it to be mixed at best.

It works better when it's integrated into a search engine so that it has real humans explaining things so that they can just do the summary and not build something from scratch.
