ArXi:2603.29118v1 Announce Type: cross Learning to use feature-rich software is a persistent challenge, but generative AI tools promise to lower this barrier by replacing complex navigation with natural language prompts. We investigated how people approach prompt-based tools for 3D modeling in an observational study with 26 participants (14 casuals, 12 professionals). Consistent with earlier work, participants skipped tutorials and manuals, relying on trial and error.
