Accessible artificial intelligence platforms, especially ChatGPT, are now available to solve engineering questions. Here we evaluate this tool for finite state machine construction in Python. With well-guided queries, ChatGPT built sensible code that implements a microwave oven controller for hardware integration. However, to leverage ChatGPT user knowledge of the programming task was necessary, which included schematics, input, and output delineation, and debug expertise.
