John Lauer First AI PCB with Grok: clip 2, the board that wasn't Grok's 7d92f9e 6d ago

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.400
Twenty-five minutes later, Grok reports a
finished board.

00:00:03.610 --> 00:00:11.950
Clean electrical and design rule checks,
all 62 pins matched, 4.98 V out, on a 28
by 20 mm board.

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:15.950
But the numbers match our own buck
exactly, down to the silkscreen.

00:00:16.150 --> 00:00:18.250
So we ask where each value came from.

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:21.750
Grok checks its own build trail and gives
a straight answer.

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.450
It did not design this board.

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.150
A copy of our KiCad molecule was already
on its shared computer, and it re-exported
that.

00:00:29.350 --> 00:00:38.750
So we ask again, from scratch: a new
folder, the TI datasheet, its own math,
its own placement and routing, and no
looking at the old design.

00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:40.920
Grok agrees, and starts over.
