Every person on this website will be long gone before AGI is achieved, and many lifetimes will pass until anythin remotely close to Matrix/Terminator is possible.

It’s not that cut and clear. It’s a human facsimile but give it a camera, microphones and a world model and the facsimile might truly be indistinguishable from a human. Then it’s just a philosophical discussion on what AGI means.
Maybe? I don't know if it's near, or if it will be in "the next ten years" indefinitely like quantum computing. Or we'll have semi-smart bots like we're starting to see now that won't be "people" but that are close enough and we might project sentience and personality on to them.
People don't think it will be positive though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Anyone_Builds_It,_Everyone_...
Ahh, but your descendants will be fair game.
"Your great, great, great grandad closed a pull request, we're coming for you!"
Really? I'm of the opinion that AGI is basically already here, except we keep moving the goalposts. "AI can match the economic output of a human in many professions" is already here. What concrete goal do you mean by AGI that's not yet achieved (without getting to generalities like "they don't think")?
They can't reason.
