I'd argue that those are still jobs lost to automation, that just weren't mourned like jobs are today because they weren't lost after decades of huge swatches of jobs being taken over by automation.

When billboard painters were replaced there were 1000 other places they could go. When today's fiverr app artist loses their small niche income to AI, they're losing what was already their last ditch artistic income. It's the same issue, but the scale makes it hit WAY harder now.
