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.

My first "job" in computing, where someone else paid me for code, was in a research context where we were modeling radio propagation. Nothing about that was removing human labor. It in face eventually called for a bunch of humans to interact with each other. See: https://www.hamsci.org/basic-project/2017-total-solar-eclips...

I don't think it is fair to claim computers are about putting people out of jobs.
