You can also take the road that the first AGI would be middling and that its impact would be relatively limited. That's the overall direction I'm taking with a subset of AGI-themed short stories I'm currently writing (each exploring a different unexpected limitation). Either way, it's science fiction, the number of science fiction stories that successfully predicted anything about the future is dismal, but they're a lot of fun nonetheless.
