I suggest people who need some structural engineering done may use an AI tool to do it, in the hypothetical scenario that it was within the AI's capabilities.

That's hardly insane. Not everyone is interested in learning something they want done.

How do you know if this something is done?

If you do the thing yourself, you know your knowledge limits, you know where the thing lacks. With LLMs, you don't. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. You have no idea.

		That is a good question. In structural engineering, there probably is no risk tolerance. In the OP's network or port scan? Perhaps you can get away with verifying a few of the results to get an idea about whether it worked as expected. I use AI mostly on mobile app side projects, and there QA testing on phone and tablet tells me whether a feature works or not.
