Yeah, they're a pretty bad waste of time and money. The rate of advancement is so much worse than hands-on training by the MC that it means if you want any training or education done in anything close to a reasonable amount of time, you gotta do it yourself. It leads to a lot of micro-management and hands-on player input for everything.
It's a holdover from earlier states of the game which were much slower and whose design philosophy apparently expected players to have like 10 years on a save.
Which isn't to say they're useless. You can engineer a situation where you have positive income and stable happiness/affection with 10+ slaves in academy+riding lessons, or arena, assigned to appropriate slave masters and with like 5 applications of revital, then sit there hitting conclude day 2000 times and you'll get progress pretty quickly
Unfortunately the automated trainings are only good when you're working on like a dozen slaves at once (and have put so much time into a save you're rich enough to even afford that on top of all the "normal" expenditures). If you're only doing a couple slaves at any given time, manually microing everything is far and away more efficient with regards to in-game resouces and time, but the sheer amount of repetitive micro is a lot more wasteful of the actual player's time.
