The simple rule is that AI can handle structure on its own, and anything that changes what an operator physically does needs a person to approve it. Splitting a paragraph into steps, flagging a missing warning, catching inconsistent tag numbers or pointing out duplicate content are all things that save a reviewer hours without changing the work itself.

Changing a step’s order, a setpoint, an isolation or a safety critical instruction is different, since the person who approves the procedure is accountable for it and the software is not.
