The indictment of people who would enjoy this as not having imagination is ridiculously smug and self-congratulatory. Maybe use some of your imagination to think of scenarios where this could augment creativity?

Imagination and 3d visualization are different things. Some people enjoy refinement and improvement from an existing state versus starting from zero.

Having quick generation of ideas for small builds means you could focus on being creative at the scale of a whole scene or diorama.

It doesnt have to be considered self congratulatory or smug, or indeed an indictment. The gradual erosion of any need for individual thought or creativity is a real problem nowadays. The existence of a tool like this is just a shame.
