Algorithms as ideation tool

When algorithms, the building blocks of programming, are being used to help create, does it mean that software, including mobile apps, turn designers into "editors" rather than "writers" of original script, reacting rather than acting to what the computer generates (unless the designer writes computer codes themselves)? But does it matter whether the design comes from an algorithm or from traditional moves of creativity? But as designing with the help of algorithm depends on computer language, that is, any algorithm's output depends on its input and parameter settings, algorithms can be seen as another ideation tool in the long tradition of artists and designers using a variety of means to help them create, for example, artists using assistants to help them create their works, or, as claimed by Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein: "One does not create a work, one constructs it with finished parts, like a machine.”
