Automation can free up testers to do better things during the time they save due to automatic test runs. But the only thing is planning automation tasks in such a way that it cover most of the main scnearios and scripts should not be very demanding in terms of maintenance.
If whole automation setup reliable and needs less manual inputs, people can better think of other test scenarios and do exploratory testing. As we know testing an application with 100% test-cases is not possible as any application can have thousands or lacks of user scenarios. With various white-box techniques we can ensure that all the functions in a code are tested but but covering all the path conditions etc is not that practical.
Here Automation gives as opportunity to testing team to explore more areas to test and make sure things are better with those efforts.
