Yes, it's quite bizarre. I have used blender to generate training data for a neural network (which was a stunning success, and quite fast compared to any other method I could think of). I had no clue how to use blender before, but now I feel like I have at least a passable idea of how the UI works -- despite basically never having touched it!
