Answer

其实，我们通常会说”我看不到“，不会去纠结是因为自身能力的原因”不能“看到，还是因为客观因素”不会“看到，只是表达了“我看不到”这个结果，至于是什么原因，在日常对话中不会表达得那么精确。如果用“不能”或“不会”反而会觉得很别扭。

Answer

Since Willian has provided such a wonderful answer, I'll just translate his answer.

----
We would normally say "我看不到" instead. We won't anguish ourselves with whether it be due to some inability of our own that we "不能"看到 or whether it be due to some objective reasoning that we "不会"看到, but rather, we would just state the end result. Thus, in our day-to-day, we won't be as clear-cut.

If we were to use "不能" or "不会" in those sentences, it would be on the contrary, unnatural.

Answer

"会" always means that you have the skill or you know how to do the thing
