"How can we dig a well here" and "should we dig a well here" are neither mutually exclusive nor sufficient in their own regard.

Cant answer should we without having done a lot of it before. Cant learn unless you actually do it and see the consequences through.

and yet it's also incredibly effective to be able to recognize "oh this plot is incredibly similar to these 100 other plots and there appears to be a pretty consistent pattern to what is driving where the well is built, and they are all constructed in a very similar fashion, i am just going to copy what they did"

AI is very useful when you dont need to invent anything new
