The underlying assumption with all these criticisms is that human contact would be better. But is this really true?

Humans can be bribed, manipulated, or lied to. This introduces a whole set of new problems. It just turns "YouTube algo removed my channel because I got report bombed" to "A YouTube employees removed my channel after they were social engineered".

Contact with a knowledgeable human is better than no contact is I think what people are arguing, yes.
