Why would we want AGI? I've yet to read a convincing argument in favor (but granted, I never looked into it, I'm still at science-fiction doomerism). One thing that irks me is that people see it as inevitable, and that we have to pursue AGI because if we don't, someone else will. Or more bleak, if we don't actively pursue us, our malignant future AGI overlords will punish us for not bringing it into existence (roko's basilisk, the thing Musk and Grimes apparently bonded over because they're weird)
