Ask HN: Are Scrum-Masters Useful / Worth a Full-Time Salary?

Our company has gone on a spree of hiring Scrum-Masters for virtually every team, and it seems like this role adds little to no value to the teams or company.

The SM's all seem to work a few hours at most a day, most of which is running a 15-minute Daily Standup that typically goes 30 minutes (yeah they're not even running standup right).

Is this common? Am I crazy to think that this is maybe a perfect low-hanging fruit for ChatGPT to essentially replace in the next few years?
