The question is almost tautological because an AGI is fully general problem solver. Every human being has needs, wants that they are working to fulfill, because otherwise they would simply stop living. An AGI can be used to solve those problems for them.
The most common reason people are hesitant about rushing to build an AGI is the issue of AI safety. (at least that's the general consensus in the community).
- soledades 6y agoSo people by definition want AGI because they have problems and AGI can solve them? Lot of assumptions embedded here, making it pretty remote from tautology. (1) People want their problems solved (2) People are indifferent to how their problems are solved (3) The resolution of people's problems do not conflict with one another (4) People will have their own AGI (5) AGI will not cause problems of its own, etc. Beyond that, I think the question is more an aesthetic choice of "What kind of universe do you want to live in?"
