I'd argue that this type of AI frees up humans to be more creative. If a journalist doesn't have to spend time writing routine articles about baseball scores, they have more time to spend tracking down real stories. I posted elsewhere in these comments about my own AI-powered news system, and if I didn't have that my entire day would be taken up writing routine articles that are interesting to readers but have very little journalistic value. Instead I can turn on the machine and let it write this routine content while I go out and interview the city manager about the proposed development downtown or the upcoming tax increase.
If the routine and mindless tasks of humans are moved to automation, those humans are now free to actually create.
