Or a hive mind, of one human plus their AIs, where the hive is not in
perfect communication with itself.  Perhaps this might spur mind-machine
communication in a way that could lead toward uploads (and incidentally
enable technological telepathy between humans).

The latter, almost certainly.  Your time is more valuable than your AIs'.

I myself have yet to get that much value out of AIs.  The ones I have
tried, have largely either told me stuff I already knew, gave me general
platitudes when I asked for very specific advice, or failed, either not
doing as requested (such as ignoring strict word count requirements I
explicitly passed along) or failing to function in the requested capacity
(such as one attempted prediction series that was supposed to take in
characteristics of the data and predict breaks from the trend but just
predicted the last data point repeating, and others that failed to produce
predictions at all).  Maybe as they become better, I will get more use from
them.
