Dude says in the post that he just wanted to see what happened. If idle experimentation makes one an imbecile, then I suspect your standards for stupidity are out of line with reality.

There's not much point in sending it to be manufactured when it would fail DRC and a quick visual inspection. Experimenting is fun but there was no point wasting the money to make it when it clearly isn't a working PCB.

The point was to post a picture of the AI slop, not to get a working PCB.

It probably cost 5 dollars max including shipping for a funny joke object.

He had an ai slop that pcb design out and then had it shipped from China. Even if they’re perfectly fine wasting their own time, shipping isn’t free

Have you ordered things from China? They practically pay you for the shipping.

I wasn’t referring to monetary costs

If you would experiment with PCBs, you would start with using a breadboard, no? This is just throwing money (and wasting resources and time) at something and hoping that something sticks.

But then you wouldn't have a photo to show the world.

The photo is as good as a 3d render of the PCB in KiCAD.

Physical items are tangible, makes them more memorable.
