Company from the article is not claiming that but all the business people are talking about it. They would like that "test-automation" would mean instead of 2 QA engineers now you need 1 doing 2x more. Sad reality is that with "test-automation" you actually still need those 2 QA engineers and maybe part time dev to help them out. The upside would be that those QA people would spend less time repeating clicks and improve quality of checks.
