The problem with people is multiplicative intelligence parity. (Like that phrase? Feel free to use it as your own.)
You can find one smart person. But how do you find another smart person for them to work with? With AI-level smarts, you reduce the coordination problem to zero since it can spawn multiple copies of its own brain state (maybe?) and work concurrently and intelligently on the same problem. Just ignore the problem of killing off divergent brain states once the task is complete (nobody cares about the life of a kage bunshin).
I sure could get a lot more done if I had five more of me (unpaid, of course) to tackle a problem all at once.
