Complex assemblies completely fall on their face. It's pretty fun/hilarious to ask it to do something like: "Make a mid-century modern coffee table" -- the result will have floating components, etc.

Yes to your thought about the hybrid workflows. There's a lot of UI/UX to figure out about how to go back and forth with the LLM to make this useful.

Yeah - I fully agree with this POV. From a UX/UI POV, I think this is where things are headed. I talk about this a bit at the end of the piece.

I definitely agree with your point about the long prompts.

The long prompts are primarily an artifact of trying to make an eval where there is a "correct" STL.

I think your broader point, text input is bad for CAD, is also correct. Some combo of voice/text input + using a cursor to click on geometry makes sense. For example, clicking on the surface in question and then asking for "m6 threaded holes at the corners". I think a drawing input also make sense as its quite quick to do.
