What it can’t do
Could AI draft our technical drawings?
AI can’t reliably draft technical drawings today. It handles text, analysis and summaries well, but it doesn’t produce CAD or survey drawings a professional could sign. The work around the drawing, such as specifications, reports and checks against the standard, is where it helps now.
Why people ask
That they are behind for not using it on the core technical work.
The longer answer
This is a case where the honest answer is “not yet”. A demo that works on a simple example and breaks on a real one costs more than it saves.
What does move is the paperwork around the technical work: assembling the report from field data, checking a document against a checklist, answering questions from the standards library.
Where AI falls short
This question was asked out loud in a working session and logged without a name or a company.
