Come on, the bandwitdh at which we can consciously consume complicated information and especially language is absolutely pathetic. Case in point: it takes the better part of two decades to educate a human to the degree where they are more or less useful to society. What is the most time consuming part of that process? Reading. One. Sentence. At. A. Time. Then spending more time integrating that information. An AGI has a huge advantage here because it is not limited to the senses it was born with. For example, it is significantly cheaper to train an ML model to detect credit card fraud than it is to educate and employ an equivalent number of people who can handle the incoming stream of transactions with comparable accuracy. It is not exactly automation, it is more like decision making.
