New feature - Text to CAD... entirely within featurescript

Text to CAD is gaining a lot of hype lately, existing implementations are slow and require immense resources.
So I've created an AI entirely within Onshape only using FeatureScript.
Simply put in a prompt, and get a CAD model!
Its a basic implementation - currently the model is only trained to build cubes, cylinders, and spheres. But with the right amount of seed funding, other shapes could be supported.

If you didn't read the code and are all excited…yes this is a joke.

Cool, and if I type "Do not make a cylinder!", it would still hallucinate one, right? That proves it is a real AI! :0)
lol! 😁 love this.

Couple weeks early for the April 1st posting there @Caden_Armstrong.
I do find the amount of AI CAD hype posting is getting ridiculous lately. The number of projects I've seen where people get excited to see a server blade melting to produce cylinders and cubes in vaguely correct locations but with zero consideration for manufacturability. AI has a long uphill road to climb before prompt to CAD is a viable product, and even if it ever gets there (and this is kind of true for most applications of AI) the foundations laid for such a product are likely better used creating deterministic and efficient tools rather than the AI being the product.

It doesn't even have — in the results… How are we going to tell it it was made by AI?
Added some extra AI in just for you
