    Out of experience, these AIs are a waste of time (for now). You’ll need the patience of a saint—they’ll keep getting things almost right, but not quite. You’re better off just spending your time learning a better CAD software like Fusion 360 (get the free version), and you’ll get things done much quicker. I’ve used ChatGPT extensively for coding, and you can spend a huge amount of time prompting the AI, yet it still gets it wrong.
