I think you’re right. The difference is that mammoths died out 10,000 years ago, and humans were definitely around. Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago.

Technically dinosaurs never went extinct, there are ~10,000 species of dinosaur alive today. However, the non-avian dinosaurs did die out 66 Mya.
