This implies:
1. a median human is somehow smart
2. a system that behaves like a human is desirable
For (1), I think it's highly debatable regarding the amount of dumb errors/mistakes I (and the average developer/sys admin) make daily, heck even hourly/minutely. Yesterday, I did commit a format string instead of a formatted string (aka: `"{foo}bar"` vs `f"{foo}bar"` in Python. That's not really smart.
For (2), do we want an autonomous system to mimic the weakest link in the security chain of an IT system? aka: the human. Do we want AIs that put passwords next to the computer screen? Or use `password123` because it's easier to remember?
My point is, we don't want AGI as smart as us, we want AGI smarter than us, and far more efficient that us. I don't want an AGI that forget the `f` in my example earlier.
