Even if you use some kind of algorithm, if it's possible for politicians to create districts unfavorable to some constituents and favorable to one party over another, then that is what will be done. "Unintentionally" or not.
I'm actually more interested in the aspect of it where representatives represent more of a neighborhood. Where they are living reasonably close to the rest of the people they represent. More interested in that than how the count of R's and D's ends up.
I've never seen a state where the districts are drawn geographically. Or even in a way that makes close to sense.
