Highlighted: the lines this signal was extracted from

OpenAI + Synopsys just announced GPT-Synopsys for chip design and this sounds kinda insane. AI is basically being integrated with EDA tools and can iterate on designs, optimize PPA, analyze results etc. As someone trying to get into VLSI, should I be concerned lol. Like are we gonna be writing RTL and doing verification in 5 years or just supervising an AI agent doing all of it
