Is a manned mission to Mars a big waste of money?

It is obviously more expensive, orders of magnitude so, to send (and return) humans to Mars. Robots and other technical machinery can accomplish a lot semi-autonomously and they don’t have to be returned and their space platforms don’t have to be man rated, etc – much cheaper.
How much more can humans do in now or assumably in the next couple of decades that would make a manned mission worth it?
