The dream of a perpetual labor machine is the end goal of capitalists. It's how you usher in the extermination age. Much easier to do once you declare 20-40% of the population "useless."

Frankly, "AGI" just seems like a return to Antebellum slave economics.
Free labor is a C-suite's wet dream, and it has been since the 1520s.
Yeah "AI" doesn't work but that doesn't matter. Your boss believes that there is a coin-operated robot slave that is smarter than you, never gets tired, and never talks back. Good luck getting that raise now, asshole.
The labor consequences of the Black Death in Europe swung back to capital in the 1520s. The proportion of the population working for wages crossed 50%.
