Yes, a pilot saved everyone from the unthinking actions of an ill-conceived and very badly implemented computerised system.
Rather poor choice of example seeing that MCAS is not active during automatic flight. In fact the sole reason for MCAS is to provide pilot-friendly handling characteristics, and would not have been necessary in a pilotless aircraft
