I see. I don’t have any good resources for you, sadly.
I was essentially asking for your pure opinion/best guess. ie. An unpacking of what I infer were opinions/premises implied by “[not] good”. Nevermind. I’ll take it to be approximately “blind application of data-mining packages is worse than useless and gives worse outcomes than whatever they would or wouldn’t have done if they didn’t have the package”.
Sorry, I just don’t have a strong opinion. It’s hard for me to consider the counterfactual, because there’s lots of selection effects on what studies I see both from the present time and the time before software data-miners were popular.
