No, models are tools, it's how you wield them. What I noticed is that models tend to attract activist types that have an agenda to push, so they try to control it. Not just in AI, also in Economics and other fields.

Every scientific paradigm is a model. We do not have direct access to underlying reality, we only have maps put together based on the observations we can make.
