I think that's a distinction without difference. If one person can do the job of 10 thanks to automation, what happens to the other 9 who were doing that job before?
You can also produce 10x the goods with the same amount of workers or let the other 9 work in other jobs.
The difference is that previously there still had been plenty of (low skill) jobs where automation didn't work. Pizza delivery, taxi driver, lots of office jobs with repetitive tasks etc.
Soon there will be nothing for the average joe as the machine will be better in all tasks he could perform.
This time there is the potential to replace human workers. In the past it only made them more productive.
