The purpose of a system is what it does. If people constantly use your device to turn kittens into pulp, you have built a kitten grinder, even if the label you slapped on the side says "coffee beans only".

Whether or not you want to admit that is up to you. If you're selling automation or efficiency gains, you're removing human labor.

Why else would one create software, if not to do something that a human does/did?

No one is taking away programming as a hobby from you :)
