I’m somewhat new to the field ~1.5 years, so my opinion doesn’t hold too much weight.
But in the embedded field I’ve found AI to not be as helpful as it seems to be for many others. The one BIG thing is has helped me with is I can give it a data sheet and it’ll spit out all the register fields that I need, or help me quickly find information that I’m too lazy to Ctrl-f, which saves a couple minutes.
It has not proven it’s worth when it comes to the firmware itself. I’ve tried to get it to instantiate some peripheral instances and they never ended up working, no matter how I phrased the prompt or what context i’ve given it.
