AGI is never coming. It's too hard, too expensive, and there's absolutely no valid usecase. Fulfilling the god-complexes and/or fetishes of tech moguls is not enough to make the effort worth it.

No valid use-case? If AGI at a human level were to exist, and cost less than hiring an equivalent human, it could replace most/all knowledge workers.

AGI would need the whole management infrastructure and bureacracy that we use to manage humans. Specially-intelligent rather than generally-intelligent AI would be run-and-done. AGI is the worse option.
