Why would you keep one running. You don’t need to run an LLM except perhaps to rotate the playlists. First time it might help setup the code. Even making requests can be done by simply queries. Pennies at most for a few thousand tokens every now and then.
Why would you need one whatsoever? If someone has already done the work as in the op, why not just cut out the hypothetical "benevolent AGI" and utilize the existing source code?
You're invoking LLMs, but "benevolent AGI" was what got invoked originally. Don't conflate a hypothetical AGI with an existing LLM. Anything of the scale required to create a hypothetical AGI is going to be expensive. Period.
Is grandma really going to use a hypothetical AGI any better than she's able to use Spotify? Come on.
