There is indeed a skill in constructing models as well as using them but ignoring all of that there’s still the artistic touch in creating thought provoking or impassioned concepts irrespective of the tangible form they’ve been given.

We weren’t talking about constructing models. And where’s the skill in “using” them in this context, when the user is eventually given the exact end product they asked for, and it is as original as rehashing the training set can be?

Everything has its pros and cons, for example nuclear gave us access to functionally limitless much cleaner energy as well as more powerful weapons

I see that you went with the nuclear example, because all of the others seem straight up indefensible in comparison.

Problem is, I wasn’t talking about nuclear energy. Even if I did, development of nuclear energy didn’t require creating nuclear weapons at all. Yet they did, and it’s a great example of how technological achievements aren’t always a good thing.
