True, but that's what reflexes are for.

  It's probably fortunate that the GCAS had already rolled him back, otherwise the reflex to "pull up" would have been disastrous.

    Would it have overruled the pilot input if that would have been the case?

      No, this system only countermands order to fly into ground, not other high G manoeuvres. The 9 G would probably end up snapping wings or in an uncontrolled roll.

        F-16s are G-limited to 9G. You can happily pull 9G day in, day out. The actual G loading the plane is certified for would be much, much higher than this (probably at least double).
