Isn't this a bit like saying most software these days isn't manually built, because they use compilers?

Not sure the point of this comparison. Using compilers to build software has been all but required for a long time, and exploit discovery can be done just by using the software in unexpected ways, or by using complex reverse engineering and analysis tools.
its more like you run a fuzzer and hope it breaks something.
Not at all.
