Why do we need that?

Art should demand more of the creator than the person experiencing it.

The alternative is 9 billion who cares slop things.

Not everything is abstract art. Sometimes I want my subsurf modifier to only target certain vertex groups, and if I can use AI to make that happen in a few seconds, that's a huge win for me.
Blender (and CAD programs as well) get in the way of creativity.

I know what I want, no idea how to tool my way there.

I spend two months going through YT tutorials, mucking about in Blender in order to figure out how to put together the model I have in my head [1].

(A year later, a new project idea—and it's back to YouTube because the learning is not only a steep curve but also sometimes so esoteric that it's fleeting.)

It would take you as long or longer to draw with a pen too. Art is hard in general.
