No, it is precisely the point. I am cleverer than a hammer. Evolution is dumb enough to have gone ahead and created its usurper. Evolution really will go ahead and evolve itself to irrelevance. By the time it figures out that the current state of it's cleverest creations isn't one where they optimise their response to future selective pressures it'll be too late. We'll have solved the relevant cooperation problem or we'll have messed up evolution's existing creations and resources beyond all recognition.
I consider that an example of human cleverness. If there is one thing we are good at it is creating arguments for things that are caused by something completely irrelevant. Take that Urist McHatedRival!
If creating a better optimizer than yourself makes you dumb, what does that say about people trying to build GAI?
By analogy it would seem to imply that they are dumber than the GAI they are trying to create. I think that's the point of creating it. Now, let's see if we can create one that doesn't obliterate its masters!
