We don't say it because we don't care. Machines moving faster than a human runner have not posed a threat to any industry or jobs in our lifetime. It's a silly comparison. I bet you there was someone at one point who was unhappy that a machine was a better or faster welder than them though. At least that person may have had the opportunity to keep working at the factory alongside the welding machine, doing QA and repairs. Most knowledge workers will not get to switch to that kind of replacement job vis-à-vis AIs.

Beyond explaining what the author meant, and also the hype and hypotheticals which are rampant, this is a valid concern which I also share personally. This is more imminent than “AI overlords ruling us” and I am afraid the motivation behind creating this particular system, is to bring on the automation (the creators don’t even hide this). Therefore I think the point you are making is actually important too.
