Not attempting to be sassy, sorry, but maybe I can explain my point a bit better. If you are making something complex enough to warrant you yourself designing it (something unique, custom, new), then CAD on its own is the best tool (right now!). I have models with thousands of parametric features linked to hundreds of other parts in an assembly. I would need to write a novel to achieve those same features with an LLM.
If what you want to make is simple enough that an LLM would be able to nearly one-shot it, then that model either:
1. Already exists somewhere (like the gear above)
or
2. Is simple enough that a couple hours of training videos will give you all the skills you need to make it yourself
Download model, done.
