I totally agree. The way I see it, there are two types of manual testing that often get conflated in conversation: 1) Make sure everything that worked yesterday is still working today. 2) Check out this new feature. Let us know what makes sense, and what doesn't. Automation is great for scenario one and (still) terrible for scenario two. Some expert testers prefer to call scenario one "checking". They don't want their high-skill work (which it is) to be confused with low-skill button clicking.
