Assuming we're talking about the typical example ( ▶ this video ) - in the HUD, altitude is the right-hand vertical tape. (The left one is airspeed.) It looks to bottom out around 4400 feet during the AGCAS recovery.

Not an expert, but in military planes there are systems which kick in exactly when the plane is outside it's normal regime. Auto-GCAS Saves Unconscious F-16 Pilot: ▶ this video
That's an excellent point. Even if it's not the people, the stick or manual control inputs are also a point of failure. So if suddenly your stick does something strange, and your flight computer allows it (thinking human knows best) you are in big trouble. The opposite of this is the ground collision avoidance systems, where the humans are one of the weakest parts of the aircraft (due to G-loc). ▶ this video
