Not as much as you'd think. During early evaluations, AGCAS proved itself a lifesaver. I'm pretty sure there is a way to override, if it malfunctioned. There are cases where the system falsely detects an unsafe condition, the pilot hears the warning tone, before AGCAS takes over.
One thing the 737 Max doesn't have, which the F-16 has, is ejection seats. The pilot can eject if AGCAS puts them in an unsafe situation. I don't believe there has been a single case of a pilot ejecting due to a false AGCAS activation.
