The AI is really good at the easy part — that’s why sometimes you get big chunks when you fill in a missing piece; however, sometimes it’s harder to connect the right pieces. That’s where you come in.
The AI will get better over time because your input will be used to train it. You can look at the data in a way that the AI cannot. You can see the whole of the 3D view and decide whether it looks right or not. You can look at the 2D view and decide whether it flows smoothly.
