You couldn't be more right. They're content generators.

If you can't stand "consuming content" they're useless. So is 95% of modern TV, even if human made, because they're also applying patterns they've been taught.

Once in a while something interesting is made by the content mills - possibly by mistake - and pattern appliers, be they human or automation, have nothing to do with it.

A few humans are capable of going beyond applying patterns, current "AI" isn't at all.
