> I think you don’t have widespread adoption until AI takes the form of a plug-and-play “remote employee”. Exactly. The problem with the AGI-changes-everything argument is that it indirectly requires "plug-and-play" quality AGI to happen before / at the same time as specialized AGI. (Otherwise, specialized AGI will be adopted first) I can't think of a single instance in which a polished, fully-integrated-with-everything version of a new technology has existed before a capable but specialized one. E.g. computers, cell phones, etc. And if anyone points at the "G" and says "That means we aren't talking about specialized in any way," then you start seeing the technological unlikeliness of the dominoes falling as they'd need to for AGI fast ramp.
