What exactly is disingenuous about it?

It reduces the value of a human life to the incremental rate at which they produce some concrete product. It is absurd.

Or, it elevates the tasks artificial intelligence produces to the actual difficulty of them - the human effort.

You're not thinking this through. Your human life (with its associated 2000 Cal/day) does so much more than find bugs in obscure codebases. Or at least, one would hope.
