Yes, these tools can save a lot of time by instantly giving you something that is 90-95% right. You still need an actual programmer to review its output to make sure it's what you need. Same as if you got ChatGPT to create your legal argument - if you don't check it, you might end up looking silly. (In the linked case, ChatGPT fabricated some old cases to support its argument).
Keep in mind that there is a huge amount of code on stackoverflow and similar sites for training the AI on coding. The required volumes of training data for SPICE models doesn't exist.
It exists, but it’s tightly guarded, as most people do not post their precious design simulations online.
As for GPT, it does things it shouldn’t be able to do already, but it’s a bit of an infant with Alzheimer’s.
It speaks perfect English, though, and is amazing at translation tasks.

GPT "hallucinations" in the Guardian article describes it quite well.
Once I was too lazy to do my own research and asked GPT to write some simple BASH code for me. Really nothing fancy, something that likely has been coded countless times before, but was just new to me.
GPT understood the request very well and wrote some lines of code that looked plausible.
Turned out that it was hallucinating calling programs with fictional arguments, together with some correct ones that were described on the man pages.
Needless to say, I had to read the man pages on my own and figure out how to do it correctly, but saved a bit of time nonetheless.
Agree, GPT is great for generating any kind of text, not only in English, but also in German. Especially text that needs to sound very convincing and when it does not matter whether the facts are correct or not, like for a job application, advertising, news paper article and so on. It often uses a lot of words, especially in case being instructed to do so, thus may be kind of repetitive. Could replace newspaper authors entirely. Just a matter of time until news agencies will figure it out.
