There are plenty of programs that force the user to have to tediously spend time assembling loops manually, changing things or editing manually, etc.

Band in a Box and RealBand are automated.

The ability to create the entire drum part with one mouse click is awesome.

You have to actually get and use the programs awhile to get through a learning curve as to what can be done. For example, the one-click use of Part Markers that force Drum Fills in the previous measure is pure genius and may well obviate the whole thing you are asking about anyway. In all this time I have never had anyone tell me that a song needs a certain drum thang here or there to make it "better". But I have had a few people ask who the drummer was. More than one of those people to ask that question are very skilled drummers...
