Huh. I guess I don't agree that this would at all characterize Tao's relationship with AI. I haven't read a single thing from him to suggest that he is "seething" over AI's remarkable capabilities. In fact he's a prolific user of AI in mathematics research. I don't think the scene serves a useful analogy.
Also Tao's reference to "feeling for" Salieri makes a lot more sense, the audience is clearly supposed to feel for him! That's what makes the scene effective.
And why would I want to see AI humiliate Tao?
I'm sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Thank you for the link, it is useful context.
