What if the payoff is arbitrarily high? Do you believe there is any limit to the potential benefits of AGI short of those necessarily imposed by a finite planet

What if the payoff is arbitrarily high? Do you believe there is any limit to the potential benefits of AGI short of those necessarily imposed by a finite planet? Who would’t want the equivalent of a tool that designs, builds, delivers, installs, maintains, and upgrades itself, all in addition to being able to produce useful goods or provide useful services?
Doesn’t owning a thing like that sound like being arbitrarily wealthy? What do you think the three people in the US who control more wealth than the entire bottom 50% of Americans would think about that? You think they’ll just say “Nah, I don’t want that. I won’t take steps to control this particular life-altering technology?”
If so, you are making an extraordinarily strong claim, and such claims must be supported by extraordinarily strong evidence, which I see none of here.
