My only disagreement is with:
>Human processes just add additional bias
Bias with respect to what? As you say, there is already bias baked into the data collection and the algorithmic choices.
The bias that human editors introduce is different, but not necessarily larger, however you even measure it. There are also myriad human choices behind the choice and deployment details of the algorithm.
An important plus for human editors is greater interpretability and greater transparency regarding the biases the system ends up showing.
