Technological change typically includes the introduction of labor-saving 'mechanical-muscle' machines or more efficient 'mechanical-mind' processes.
Wikipedia[3]

Payments Journal[5]
Automation, which enables capital to replace labor in tasks it was previously engaged in, shifts the task content of production against labor.
Daron Acemoglu[4]
So-so automation is defined as automation that displaces workers with little or no productivity gain.
