I think what Yudkowsky is missing in this analogy is the fact that the human can use an AI too, which levels the competition significantly.

The problem is that we don't know how to use AIs the same way we know how to use stockfish. They're inexplicable to even experts

If you do everything an AI tells you, are you using an AI, or is the AI using you? And if it’s the latter, what happens if it decides to stop using you because it doesn’t need you?

Things are not as simple as we imagine them. It is already happening. Jobs are being lost to AI, and this processes is accelerating exponentially. From a certain perspective, this is simply businessmen and engineers using AI. But eventually they themselves won’t be needed.
