Programming your drums yourself is perfectly ok, hiring a drummer is ok, both involve humans, their vision and feelings. AI is not ok.
If you played a lot of parts yourself and put your effort into them, why drag those AI drums in? That's like sculpting 90% of a sculpture with your hands and then generating the remaining 10% and 3d printing them in. For what sake?
Answering your question, it diminishes nothing except your own honesty with yourself and your listeners. If you're fine with that, well, you do you.
