What would AGI actually mean for security? Does it heavily favor attackers or defenders? Even LLM, it may not help much in defense but it could teach attackers a lot right? What if employees gave the LLM info during their use that attackers could then get re-fed and study?

IMO AI favors attackers more than defenders, since it's cost prohibitive for defenders to code scan every version of every piece of software you use routinely for exploits, but not for attackers. Also, social exploits are time consuming, and AI is quite good at automating them, and these can take place outside your security perimeter, so you'll have no way of knowing.
