It matters, because if we only go as far as the moon, if you forgive me the space exploration metaphor, and then need thousands of years to reach the next star system, humans will adapt to cope with the long journey.
I don’t understand your metaphor. Do you mean that if an AI recursively improves slowly, the changes it causes in the world won’t seem fast to us?
If that’s the correct interpretation, it’s true, but may not be very likely if the AI is run at many times human speed.
