I think that it is dependent on the position.

In some openings GM may let a chess program to analyze for hours when he sleeps
and he may discover some novelties.

I know that there were novelties that were discovered by a computer.

Computers may find ideas that GM's did not think about and I see no reason for
GM's not to use computers to find novelties espacially in positions that they
believe that computers are stronger.

 That is, checking variations of manual

There is no reason not to let the program to analyze the position at the same
time that you analyze the position independently.

The program may find moves that you did not think about and you can learn from
them.
The program may find a novelty at the same time that you analyze the position
and do not find the novelty.
