Our current conception of AGI is based on a biased comparison of hypothetical AGI capabilities with our relatively unehanced capabilities. By the time AGI is viable, a typical professional with expert systems will be able to vastly outperform current professionals with our current tools.
What about the speed bottleneck from human decision making, compounded by human working memory bottleneck, if lots of relevant data is involved? Algorithmic trading already has automated systems doing stock trades since they can make decisions so much faster than a human expert.
I imagine being very fast would be a great help in quite a few creative tasks. Off the top of my head, being able to develop new features in software in seconds instead of days would be a significant competitive advantage.

Expert systems would be faster still. For AGI to be justified in this case, you would need a task that required both speed and creativity.

“AGI capability” is to rewrite the universe.
Yes, but it would have to take the resources from humans first.
