My pet peeve is User Generated Content. Generate is often used when an inanimate object gives rise to something, so UGC is dehumanizing in addition to being devaluing.

that's a surprising complaint. "generate" has a strong etymological connection to birth and creation more generally, particularly by/of humans.
