Today's GPT experiment:
"I would like a resistor divider made up of 5 resistors in series,
grounded at one end, and with some voltage going into the series string.
Please devise constraints on the values to produce outputs at the taps
where each output starting from the bottom, is approximately double the
previous. Please find 1% standard tolerance values for a total string
resistance of 100k, and format the output in ASCII suitable for pasting
into Usenet."
Output:
Resulting Tap Voltages (Vin = 1.0 normalized)
+------+----------------------+------------------+----------------+
| Tap | Cumulative R (kΩ) | Voltage Fraction | Ratio to Prev |
+------+----------------------+------------------+----------------+
| V1 | 6.34 | 0.063 | — |
| V2 | 12.68 | 0.127 | 2.00 × |
| V3 | 25.38 | 0.253 | 1.99 × |
| V4 | 50.28 | 0.502 | 1.98 × |
| V5 | 100.18 | ≈ 1.000 | 1.99 × |
+------+----------------------+------------------+----------------+
I then verified it in LTSpice, fed the netlist back in and asked it to
make an ASCII schematic from the netlist. Output:
+10 V

Not too shabby for an unpaid intern!
