That seems like a very narrow perspective. For one, it is neither clear we will end up with AGI at all—we could have reached or soon reach a plateau with the possibilities of the LLM technology—or whether it’ll work like what you’re describing; the energy requirements might not be feasible, for example, or usage is so expensive it’s just not worth applying it to every mundane task under the sun, like writing CRUD apps in Python. We know how to build flying cars, technically, but it’s just not economically sustainable to use them. And finally, you never know what niches are going to be freed up or created by the ominous AGI machines appearing on the stage.

I wouldn’t worry too much yet.
