That circuit schematic in the header is wrong enough to look like an AI-generated hallucination of what a schematic is from the "human with extra fingers" stage of image generation. Inconsistent symbol styles, missing pin labels, a shorted capacitor in the upper-left, etc.

The worst part about all this isn't the fact the experts can immediately see the inadequacies of the AI tool, it's that newbies are joyously learning incorrectly. How can the Experts of the Future have a solid foundation if their foundation is built on a bunch of "your absolutely right!" LLM corrections?

Ha! Good eye. That circuit was actually replicated from the Google Typograms example here: https://google.github.io/typograms/#circuits - so any schematic errors are faithfully reproduced from the original

I used it as a demo to show what MonoSketch can create, but you're right that it's not electrically sound. Maybe I should switch to a different example that won't make electrical engineers wince!

I didn't even notice that the cap was "shorted", instead I noticed that it had the shorter line (traditionally negative) labeled "+" but connected directly to GND!
