People pronouncing processes (and biases) like they rhyme with “chimpanzees”, instead of “addresses”.
Since the English language has done words that borrow the Greek and make an -eez sound, like crisis to crises, people seem to think process is Greekified. It doesn’t follow the same pattern at all.
English is hard enough as it is without inventing extra rules to try to make us sound smarter. Meanwhile, I try to de-Greekify the language with octopuses, syllabuses, and cactuses - all valid plurals in English.
