Who the heck cares if AGI will 100% mimick humans and human minds, that's purely academic discussion.
What is a serious concern are overall capabilities (let's say penetration of networks and installing hacks across whole internet and further), combined with say malevolency.
Its trivial to judge mankind from whole internet as something to be removed from this planet for greater good or maybe managed tightly in some cozy concentration camps, just look at the freakin' news. Let's stop kidding ourselves, we are often very deeply flawed and literally nobody alive is or ever was perfect, despite what religions try to say.
I am concerned about some capable form of AI/AGI exactly because it will grok humanity based on purely data available. And lack of any significant control or even understanding of what's actually happening to those models and how they evolve their knowledge/opinions.
Even if the risk is 1%, that's existential risk we are running towards blindly. And I honestly think its way higher than 1%. Even if I will be proven wrong some proper caution is a smart approach.
But you can't expect when people's net wealth tightly coupled with moving as fast as possible and ignoring those concerns to do the best decisions for future of mankind, that's a pipe dream in a same vein as proper communism is. If that would be the case very few bright people would work at facebook for example (and many many other companies including parts of my own).
