Yea, and those statements were true. For a time. If you want to say "AGI will be priceless some unknown time into the future" then i'd be on board lol. But to imply it'll be immediately priceless? As in no cost spent today wouldn't be immediately rewarded once AGI exists? Nonsense.

Maybe if it was _extremely_ intelligent and it's ROI would be all the drugs it would instantly discover or w/e. But lets not imply that General Intelligence requires infinitely knowing.

So at best we're talking about an AI that is likely close to human level intelligence. Which is cool, because we have 7+ billion of those things.

This isn't an argument against it. Just to say that AGI isn't "priceless" in the implementation we'd likely see out of the gate.
