Why do we want to reach AGI? There are around 7.5 billion biological general intelligences, and we already know how to make more of them. Is it to save companies labor costs and increase their profit margins? I'm not sure that's ultimately in the interest of most people, or even the long term health of the economy.

Seriously, why do we want to replace human intelligence? I get augmenting it with narrow forms of automation, but AGI is a different animal.
