It's an entertaining quote, I laughed, but I think everyone who works in AI already knows this. It's not a blind spot.

Right, try saying that the next time we have a flash crash that really kills the markets.

There should be an addition to the statement though, which is "Unfortunately, Humans en masse are even stupider."

Flash crashes don't seem to kill markets. Too many people realize it's an opportunity, and quickly buy.

Also worth remembering, the stock market is not the economy

Whether the people that pay us know this, though? Less clear.
That it's not a blind spot among "everyone who works in AI" does not make it any less a blind spot.
