Economic and technological literature supports the premise that labor-saving and labor-augmenting technological changes generate distinct economic outcomes regarding factor shares, wages, and employment dynamics.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains direct theoretical and empirical studies (such as Acemoglu 2003 and related work on skill-biased technology) examining how different forms of technological change uniquely alter factor shares, labor demand, and transitional economic dynamics. No papers refute the claim.
