There's something to be said about this.

If there is unmet demand for something those people can do [1], and automation makes them more productive, and does not completely replace them; then reducing the price of those people work (by increased productivity) will make more jobs appear.

Note there are 3 "if"s there. I doubt many workers will see those three met for them.

[1] That means, people want more of it. Economists normally take this fact from granted, but it is not.
