The major difference between biological and artificial takeoff is that with biological takeoff, the superintelligent agents would be humans, with human-ish values. They may not be entirely prosocial, but they don’t need to be to keep from turning the world into paperclips. If they’re anything like modern high profile supergeniuses they will just use their talents to make major scientific or industrial advances.
A takeoff in biological intelligence could plausibly take us well beyond modern high profile supergeniuses, and we have no idea what other parts of our behaviour that would affect. To quote Maxim’s comment above: “Seems unlikely to me that there exists a genetic intelligence-dial that just happens to leave all other parameters alone.“

I don’t see why you mightn’t as well say that about any sufficiently advanced “aligned” artificial intelligence.
