IMO the analogy is correct for Go players as that's mostly a "sport".
There's real cases of similar technology putting people out of jobs, for example I recently read that more and more finance firms more or less completely automate a lot of processes, even those where you'd traditionally would have counted on people's "gut feelings". Deep learning is eerily good at simulating "gut feelings".

Yea, the technology to make marathon-distance couriers obsolete has existed since...before the Scythians?
