Question: I was wondering if it is possible to use GPT-3 to translate text description of a circuit to any circuit design language program, which in turn can be used to make the circuit.
If it is possible, what approach will you suggest?

Answer: 
This is rather something for V&L Models, training on associated texts with circuit images. Data which should be hard to come by.
I doubt these models are yet capable of catching enough detail in pictures for producing the desired results. I mean results that dont dissolve is smoke when soldering the circuit.

Mapping from natural language to some *formal description language of circuits* (lets call it fdloc) is definitively possible, but you need a lot of training data on text basis, lets say more than 1k pairs of human written texts and the corresponding fdloc expression. Do you have this data? Then machine translation networks are all you need.
Fine-tuning a large system might be enough, depending on how your fdloc is syntactically build, e.g. does it contain many chars that a normal GPT Model would just not recognize as tokens?

Alternatively, if you don't have this data and don't want to get rendered circuit images, you could try to Learn the soldering paths to the respective electric pieces by natural language understanding:

Just a draft:

1. Use NER (Named Entity Recognition) to spot all electric components in the text.
2. The text between these components most probably deals with how to connect the different capacitors etc., so you need to map these relations onto "paths" that you register as connections between your components, e.g. now solder the negative connector of the switch S1 to the blabla of the light bulb socket B2" or something comparable.
3. Watch out! Its natural language, so even if its written in a dry and technical style, you will have to resolve co-reference, something like "now connect *THIS* to the output jack ...".
I think you could extract some sort of a directed graph, which contains the components and the path descriptions of connections to all other components.
4. From this you then need to build a schematic of the circuit.
Alternatively, If you have something like a fdloc some program can read in and produce the circuit for you, then you don't need to do step 4 on your own.
The rate of progress is so impressive that this information will soon be out of date.

Whatever you're doing with it (even code), turn frequency penalty and presence penalty all the way up to 2.

When using something like the OpenAI playground to access GPT-3 your question and its answer will be text. So it might give a step by step description or describe the circuits connectivity with some formal language that makes that practical.

Asking a question followed by a question-mark or alternatively "The following is a …:" seems to work well. Then a single line break.

Hold its hand at first, you may need to correct the first sections of output to help it get onto the right track, however once there the reliability will improve.

Recursively ask for a more detailed breakdown where needed.

It's not very good at negatives when coding, this problem may occur here as well, if so avoid "X but without Y", for example something that is "not expensive" could be "cheap".

It may to prefer excellent over affordable, just because somethings been invented a whole year ago doesn't mean you'll be wanting to buy 20 of them even if that would make for a really good design.

It may try and solve 99% of the problem with a single component, such as welding a Raspberry PI computer onto the circuit board.

There's a good chance it wont agree with you and work from there if it thinks you're wrong about something, it's very intelligent, can keep track of long arguments, and never tires of them, and it can be quite condescending which isn't always helpful. You can get round this with "so hypothetically …" or "I managed to …, how did I do it?"

You can ask it to optimise/adjust its design in some specific way, with varying levels of success.

It tries to repurpose existing understanding, if it already understands mechanical design for example and circuit design is relatively new to if you may see it strongly expressing that influence.
