The answer to this has been a resounding "hell yes" for decades across IB/HFT/AlgoTrading shops. The only thing this exercise achieves is whether "you" personally can make money with a low-touch approach using software.

The frequency and depth of the human input varies based on the kind of strategies employed (macro/statistical arbitrage etc). Moreover, successful models take competitors' potential models into account which (like everything else) is a moving target.
