That's not how AI works.  This is not scifi.  The AGI that they are trying
to build would only be just the beginning.  It would be useful, but still
very dumb.  It would take decades more before this question would even be a
serious one.  And by that time, we would understand the issues more fully.
Until AGI has been around for years, it's simply not an issue.  I personally
think they are far too optimistic about what is currently possible.  I don't
think AGI will be born for something like another 20 years.  But I still
wish them luck, and I hope I'm wrong.
